[QUOTE="Jin, post: 1737002, member: 1484"] [b]This is how we do it...[/b] DEFENSIVE ACTIONS These are set up with similar prerequisites as feats, but anyone can use them once they have the prereqs. DODGE Prerequisite: Dodge, 15+ Dex, 10+ Ranks in Tumble, +10 Reflex Save Benefit: Sacrifice a standard action during your next turn to make a reflex save or tumble check, the dodge, to avoid an attack. Defender must move 5' while using this action & could incur attacks of opportunity as a result. DC the attacker's attack roll. Normal: You get whacked. PARRY Prerequisite: +3 BAB, 13+ Dex Benefit: Sacrifice an attack during your next turn to make an opposed attack roll, the parry, to deflect an attack. DC the attacker's attack roll. Normal: You get whacked. ROLL WITH A BLOW Prerequisite: 13+ Dex, 6+ Ranks in Tumble, +6 Reflex Save Benefit: Sacrifice a move equivalent action during your next turn to make a reflex save or tumble check, the roll, to take half damage from an attack. Defender must move 5' while using this action and could incur attacks of opportunity as a result. DC the attacker's attack roll. Normal: You get whacked. FEATS We also made a few feats to go along with this new style. IMPROVED PARRY [FIGHTER] Prerequisite: +4 BAB, Expertise, Dex 15+ Benefit: You can use up one of your Attacks of Opportunity for the current round to make a parry attempt. Any parry attempts count against the maximum number of Attacks of Opportunity you can make in a round. Normal: You sacrifice an attack during your next action to make a parry attempt. REPOST [FIGHTER] Prerequisite: +7 BAB, Combat Reflexes, Expertise, Dex 15+ Benefit: You can make an immediate Attack of Opportunity against someone whom you have successfully used the parry defensive action against. Any repost attempts count against the maximum number of Attacks of Opportunity you can make in a round. Normal: You don't get to make an AoO after a sucessful parry. [/QUOTE]
