Using Modern Player's Companion feats in a D&D Game

[Garnfellow]

The Game Mechanics' Modern Player's Companion, Volume One introduces several new links in a feat chain starting with Dodge:

• Improved Dodge - Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge; Benefit: +2 dodge bonus against selected opponent.
• Greater Dodge - Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Improved Dodge; Benefit: +3 dodge bonus against selected opponent.
• Supreme Dodge - Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Improved Dodge, Greater Dodge; Benefit: +4 dodge bonus against selected opponent or split between various opponents.

Although designed for d20 Modern, could these be used in a D&D game?

Why not? If anything the question is why bother in a standard DnD game, as magical bonuses and the like are usually more common.

Yeah, I think you're probably right that these feats would be, if anything, suboptimal in a D&D game. My thinking is, if these feats are OK or slightly weak in a standard D&D game, then they should be just fine in my low-magic D&D game, where I have (no kidding) at least one PC with an AC of . . . 10.

I can definitely see a rogue taking these feats, and laughing hysterically when the party gets hit with disjunction and all those bracers and rings of protection become just pieces of jewlery.

I think it's a good add, for the right character.

I actually meant to post a comment to that effect (given that I'm a regular reader of your rogue's gallery thread), but I got distracted...
