[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 3085503, member: 20308"] So in this one case, [i]this[/i] feat, which applies a flat bonus for some characters [i]all of the time[/i], is balanced because ... why? (I must be missing something here, because you just said that this was bad, and now ...?) *shrug* I think getting full attacked is a bad trade for +2 AC. With the addition of a swarm of foes between you and your spring attack target (because, of course, spring attackers try to provoke as many Aoo as possible), then I'd call that situation a wash. I have not discounted that Dodge only applies against one target, could you point out where I said that? It is the [b]only[/b] reason that I think that Dodge isn't "far far far superior" to LAO for characters with less than 24 Dex. Sounds like fun. Slightly better than +1 Armor? No. [s][i]Signifi[/i][/s] "Far far far superior". ;) And again, I fail to get my meaning accross. I agree that it isn't a vaild arguement. But you said that I was using it there. Where was I using that arguement? [/QUOTE]
