Would this feat be broken?

This feat is good to run away too, but it restricts you to half total distance. It's not good for positioning, since you cannot attack in the same round, and you may easily lose the good position before the next round.

Hence, I think Tumble does not become useless with this feat!

I was thinking that this feat is best for someone with a weapon like the spiked chain, with a great AC and good hp or DR; it lets them move into the center of a group of enemies and then take AoOs when they try to do much of anything, or else lay about himself with a Whirlwind Attack or some Great Cleave. If they are built to minimize and soak up the damage, this might be a viable strategy. Dunno- just thinking "out loud", so to speak.

Should anyone with 11k+ posts even need to ask such a question?

I think it's a safe feat. I was trying to imagine who in my group might want to take it, and, after some thought, realized that it's not a "must have" feat for any of them, so it's probably not imbalanced.

Hey, I make design mistakes- we all do!

ENWorld is sort of my "design vetting panel".
