Revised dodge and mobility

[ecliptic]

...Wait.. Improved Charge?! Huh?

What about Improved Charge?

 

[sfedi]

Mmmm...
don't know if it would be abuse but you could do the following with an extra +2 AC:

-move and attack
-move in Total Defense (with 5 rks in tumble this could be a +8/+10 vs AoO)
-move and cast/make missile attack
-spring attack with an "embedded" +2 AC bonus

Doesn't seem imbalanced, maybe VERY good, but not imbalanced.
Basically, this feat makes your move action a more valuable one.

Is that what you are fixing?
Why do you want to introduce this Feat?
What problem does it solve?

Note that casters will LOVE this feat: move and cast, move and cast, etc, etc...

Feats are precious and I am tired of the hollow feats the don't mean anything.

Where's it from 'n what does it do?

Don't remember ever seeing it.

Oh! I like the mobility variant. *yoink*

One point: you may want to change the wording to the following:

"When you use a move action to move, the dodge bonus granted by the Dodge feat increases to +2 until the beginning of your next turn. The dodge bonus increases to +4 against attacks of opprotunity if you move out or through a threatened area."

Otherwise as it stands when using the mobility feat as written now grants a total of +3 (+5 vs. AoO). This is a little too good, especially when you start combining it with tumble and fighting defensively.

That's how mobility works normally. If you draw an AoO for movement from the person you're dodging, you get a +5 to your AC. For two feats, in limited circumstances and using a move action that round, it's not too good I think.

Very true, however with change to a flat +1 dodge bonus against *all* opponents is why I brought it up. I'll be using that variant in my campaign (finally mobility is useful, yay!) but to each there own.
