Improved Arrow Deflection (Ex): at 3rd level, the cloud warrior can deflect incoming arrows, darts and other missiles, as per the Deflect Arrows feat. Unlike Deflect Arrows, he can use this ability a number of times per round equal to 3 plus his Dex bonus, if any. A cumulative -5 penalty applies to each deflection attempt after the first. The cloud warrior can deflect arrows as long as he either has a free hand, or is armed with a melee weapon. Acrobatics (Su): at 4th level, the cloud warrior gains a +10 competence bonus to Jump and Tumble checks. He can take 10 on any Jump or Tumble check, even if circumstances would normally prevent him from doing so. At 7th level the competence bonus increases to +15, and at 8th level, to +20. Instinctive Strike (Ex): at 5th level, the cloud warrior can apply his Wis bonus (if any) to his damage rolls in place of his Str bonus, where applicable. The Wis bonus is not multiplied by 1.5 for two-handed weapons, but is still limited by the Str rating of a mighty composite bow. Distant strike (Su): at 6th level, the cloud warrior learns the secrets of striking at his enemies from a distance, even while his sword never leaves his hand. His control of his ki is such that the force of his blows is transmitted to his foe, without the need for physical contact. When using this ability, the cloud warrior can use the attack or full attack action to strike a foe up to 30 feet distant with melee weapon(s). His attacks are treated as ranged attacks (no range penalties apply), not melee; thus he uses his Dex bonus as a modifier to the attack roll, does not threaten an area, and is subject to attacks of opportunity. He does still add his Str bonus (or Wis bonus, if higher) to damage, however. Melee feats and abilities such as Power Attack and Cleave do not apply, but ranged combat feats and abilities do. Distant strike is a supernatural ability that can be used for up to one round per class level per day. Activating Distant Strike does not require a separate action to actually using it. [/QUOTE]
