Is it the target of your Dodge feat?1a. If yes, then you get +1 Dodge AC against it.2. Is it a giant?2a. If yes, then you get +4 Dodge AC against it.Total Max Possible Bonus: +5With the feat, but not stacking:1. Is it the target of your Dodge feat?1a. If yes, then is it bigger than you?1b. If yes, then you get +4 Dodge AC against it.2. Is it a giant?2a. If yes, then is it the target of your Dodge bonus?2b. If yes, then +0 Dodge AC against it.2c. If no, then +4 Dodge AC against it.Total Max Possible Bonus: +4With the feat, stacking:1. Is it the target of your Dodge feat?1a. If yes, then is it bigger than you?1b. If yes, then you get +4 Dodge AC against it.2. Is it a giant?2a. If yes, then +4 Dodge AC against it.Total Max Possible Bonus: +8It makes no sense to me that someone who takes a feat is worse off than someone who does not (basic Dodge (+1) and Racial (+4) vs. Non-stacking Dodge (+4) and Racial (+4)).Therefore, I believe it must be +8 against giants who are at least one size category larger than you.</blockquote>
