Combat

Blind-Fight

Benefit:

In melee, every time you miss because of concealment, you can reroll your miss chance percentile roll one time to see if you actually hit.

An invisible attacker gets no advantages related to hitting you in melee. That is,

you don’t lose your Dexterity bonus to Defense, and the attacker doesn’t get the usual +2 bonus for being invisible. The invisible attacker’s bonuses do still apply

for ranged attacks, however.

You take only half the usual penalty to speed for being unable to see. Darkness

and poor visibility in general reduces your speed to three-quarters normal, instead

of one-half.

Normal:

Regular attack roll modifiers for invisible attackers trying to hit you apply, and you lose your Dexterity bonus to Defense. The speed reduction for darkness and poor visibility also applies.

Special:

The Blind-Fight feat is of no use against a character who is the subject of a blink spell.

A Squire may select Blind-Fight as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Combat Acrobat

Your acrobatics and agility in combat allow you to maneuver across the battlefield with ease. You stay on your feet and speed over difficult terrain due to your superior athleticism and acrobatic talents.

Prerequisite: Acrobatics 9 ranks

Benefit: You gain several benefits from this feat to reflect your overall athletic ability and training in the skills vital to an acrobat.

Acrobatic Recovery: If an effect causes you to fall prone, you can make a DC 20 Acrobatics check to remain on your feet.

Sure Footed Maneuver: With a DC 15 Acrobatics check, you can ignore up to 4 squares of difficult terrain while moving. You treat these squares as normal terrain. You still endure any effects or hazards associated with the terrain. For example, a shallow pool of boiling water might deal fire damage and count as difficult terrain. You would still take damage from the water even if your Balance check allowed you to move through it at full speed.

Combat Casting

You are adept at using techniques in Melee

Benefit: The character gains a +4 bonus to Concentration(specific jutsu skill)

checks made when performing techniques defensively

Combat Expertise

You are trained at using defense as well as offense.

Prerequisite: Int 13.

Benefit: When you use the attack action or the full attack action in melee, you can take a penalty of as much as –5 on your attack roll and add the same number (+5 or less) as a dodge bonus to your Armor Class. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The changes to attack rolls and Armor Class last until your next action.

Normal: A character without the Combat Expertise feat can fight defensively while using the attack or full attack action to take a –4 penalty on attack rolls and gain a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class.

Combat Expertise - Improved

Prerequisite:

Int 14, Combat Expertise, base attack bonus +6.

Benefit:When lowering your attack bonus to improve your Defense, the number may be any number that does not exceed your base attack bonus.

Normal: A character cannot use the combat expertise feat to gain a bonus to Defense above +5.
