[QUOTE="Hawken, post: 4547030, member: 23619"] What about using my idea to "fix" the Dodge feat. Base the number of attackers it is used against on the character's BAB. The more accomplished he is at combat, the better he can keep track of multiple opponents. There's plenty of movies where accomplished fighters can keep from being hit when swarmed by multiple opponents until like the fourth or fifth guy lands a blow. Another variant would be to increase the Dodge bonus by +1 per additional attack the character gets. BAB +6 gives Dodge a +2 bonus, BAB +11 gives Dodge a +3 bonus, etc. Regarding your point on the shields: Just limit the bonus (1/2 BAB + Shield AC) to AC to 1 attack (or 1 attacker). If the character takes the Weapon and Shield feat I mentioned, then they get to use the bonus against 2 attacks if they use a light shield (or have a +6 BAB), against 4 attacks with a heavy shield (or 3 if measuring by BAB), etc. This way, the feat is useful and bypasses abuse or rule nerfiness from how I had originally written it.
