Yes please!).It would actually be great as a function of Defensive Duelist which I feel is slightly weak, since it uses your reaction, and the classes most likely to want this (rogue and battlemaster fighter) already have good defensive reaction options. Also Unarmored Defense is slightly weak so combining them should be fine. Plus Defensive Duelist already covers the conceptual space. I'd let it set your unarmored AC to 10+Dex+Cha or 10+Dex+Int to make it appealing to Int-based rogues too. Also allowing the choice of two abilities makes it slightly more powerful (more likely to hit AC 16 early on). It also becomes an attractive feat for high-Dex wizards, sorcerers, bards, and bladelocks, but I think that's OK (it doesn't seem like a must-have). Using Int or Cha nicely does not overlap with the barbarian or monk versions. This leaves rangers, clerics, and druids out in the cold, but I think that's OK.</blockquote>
