Dexterity Talents

Point Blank Shot:

You are skilled at hitting targets at close range.

Benefit: The character gets a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with personal ranged weapons against opponents within 30 feet.

Precise Shot:

• Prerequisites: Point Blank Shot.

You are skilled at timing and aiming ranged attacks.

Benefit: You can shoot or throw ranged weapons at an opponent engaged in melee without taking the standard –4 penalty on you attack roll

Normal: You take a -4 penalty when firing at an opponent engaged in melee.

Far Shot: 

• Prerequisite: Point Blank Shot.

You can hit distant targets easily.

Benefit: When the character uses a personal ranged weapon, each range increment beyond the first only applies a –1 penalty to the attack roll.

Deadeye Shot: 

• Prerequisite: Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, base attack bonus +4, skirmish or sneak attack ability. 

You carefully line up a ranged attack, timing it precisely so that you hit your opponent when his guard is down. When your target is busy dealing with an ally's melee attack, you strike. 

Benefit: By firing just as your ally connects with a blow, you take advantage of the distraction to strike the same enemy when his guard is ruined. If you ready a ranged attack to occur when an ally strikes a particular target, and your ally succeeds, that target loses his Dexterity bonus to Defense against your attack. 

Multi-shot: 

• Prerequisite: Dex 17, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, base attack bonus +6

Benefit: As a standard action, you may fire two arrows at a single opponent within 30 feet. Both arrows use the same attack roll (with a –4 penalty) to determine success and deal damage normally (but see Special).

For every five points of base attack bonus you have above +6, you may add one additional arrow to this attack, to a maximum of four arrows at a base attack bonus of +16. However, each arrow after the second adds a cumulative –2 penalty on the attack roll (for a total penalty of –6 for three arrows and –8 for four).

Damage reduction and other resistances apply separately against each arrow fired.

Special: Regardless of the number of arrows you fire, you apply precision-based damage only once. If you score a critical hit, only the first arrow fired deals critical damage; all others deal regular damage

Improved Precise Shot: 

• Prerequisites: Dex 19, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, base attack bonus +11.

Your ranged attacks can ignore the effects of cover or concealment.

Benefit: Your ranged attacks ignore the AC bonus granted to targets by anything less than total cover, and the miss chance granted to targets by anything less than total concealment. Total cover and total concealment provide their normal benefits against your ranged attacks.

In addition, when you shoot or throw ranged weapons at a grappling opponent, you automatically strike at the opponent you have chosen.

Normal:  Without this feat, a character who shoots or throws a ranged weapon at a target involved in a grapple must roll randomly to see which grappling combatant the attack strikes.

Rapid Shot: 

• Prerequisite: Point Blank Shot

Benefit: You may make an additional ranged attack from a ranged weapon during a full-attack action. 

Every attack made in the same round will suffer a -2 penalty. This ability does not stack with other similar abilities, such as Renzuki or Storm of Blows.

Two-Weapon Fighting:

The basic level of Dual-wielding. You can make one extra attack each round with the second weapon.

Benefit: Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6.

Normal: Without this feat you take a -6 penalty to your attacks with your primary Hand and a -10 penalty to attack with your offhand. 

In all cases using a light weapon reduces these penalties by 2.

Two-Weapon Defense:

• Prerequisite: Two-Weapon Fighting.

Benefit: When fighting defensively or taking a total defense action and wielding two weapons or a double weapon (not including natural weapons or unarmed strikes), you gain a +1 shield bonus to your Defense.

When you are fighting defensively or using the total defense action, this shield bonus increases to +2.

Two-Weapon Fighting - Improved:

• Prerequisites: Dex 18, Two-Weapon Fighting, Two-Weapon Defense, base attack bonus +6.

The Standard of Dual-wielding skill, can be further improved with Advanced Two-Weapon Feats

Benefit: In addition to the standard single extra attack you get with an off-hand weapon, you get a second attack with it, albeit at a –5 penalty.

Normal: Without this feat, you can only get a single extra attack with an off-hand weapon.

Two-Weapon Defense - Improved:

• Prerequisite: Two-Weapon Defense, Two-Weapon Fighting, Two-weapon Fighting - Improved.

Benefit: When fighting defensively or taking a total defense action and wielding two weapons or a double weapon (not counting natural attacks or unarmed strikes), you gain an additional +2 shield bonus to Defense

Two-Weapon Pounce:

• Prerequisites: Dex 15, Two-Weapon Fighting, Base attack bonus +6.

When you charge an opponent while wielding two weapons you can make two quick attacks. You trade the momentum and power of the charge for the opportunity to use your second weapon.

Benefit: When you are making a charge and wielding weapons in both hands, you can attack with both of your weapons.If you do so, you lose the bonus on attack rolls normally granted by the charge. The -2 penalty on charging still applies.

Normal: When charging, you get a single attack at the end of  you movement.

Two-Weapon Rend:

• Prerequisites: Dex 15, Two-Weapon Fighting, Base attack bonus +11

You wield two weapons with an artisan's precision. Each strike builds on the next, allowing you to deal more damage.

Benefit: If you successfully hit an opponent with both of the weapons you wield, you deal extra damage equal to 1d6+1-1/2 times you Strength bonus. this extra damage is treated as the same type the your off-hand weapon deals normally for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and other effect related to damage type. You can gain this extra damage once per round against a given opponent.

Uncanny Dodge 1: 

Your character retains their Dexterity bonus to Defense regardless of being caught flat-footed or struck by a hidden attacker. (You still lose your Dexterity bonus to Defense if you are immobilized.)

Evasion: 

• Prerequisite: Uncanny Dodge 1

If your character is exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, you suffer no damage if you makes a successful saving throw. Evasion can only be used when wearing light armor or no armor 

Uncanny Dodge 2: 

• Prerequisites: Evasion, Uncanny Dodge 1.

Your character can no longer be flanked! You can react to opponents on multiple sides, as easily as you can react to a single attacker.

Defensive Roll: 

• Prerequisites: Evasion, Uncanny Dodge 1.

Your character can roll against a potentially lethal attack to take less damage from it. When you would be reduced to 0 hit points or less by damage in combat (from a ranged or melee attack), you can attempt to roll against the damage.

Your character spends 1 action point to use this talent. Once the point is spent, you make a Reflex saving throw (DC = damage dealt). If the save succeeds, you only take half the damage. You must be able to react to the attack to execute a defensive roll ! If you are immobilized, you can’t use this talent. Since this effect would not normally allow a character to make a Reflex save for half damage, your character's possible evasion talent doesn’t apply to the defensive roll.

Opportunist:

• Prerequisite: Evasion.

Your character can spend 5 control to use this talent. Once the points are spent, you can make an attack of opportunity against an opponent who has just been struck for melee damage by another character. This attack counts as your attack of opportunity for that round. Even with the Combat Reflexes feat, you can’t use this talent more than once per round.

Optional Rule: In order to make up for the balance issue with certain classes, the Defensive Talent Tree may have the Uncanny Dodge 1 and Evasion talents switch place, with Uncanny Dodge 1 being available at level 1, and Evasion requiring Uncanny Dodge 1 rather than the opposite.

Deflect: 

Your character, if they are aware of their enemy, gains a +1 deflection bonus to defense against ranged weapon (ballistic weapons don't apply). This bonus is denied if you are caught flat-footed or are denied your dexterity bonus.

Improved Deflect: 

• Prerequisite: Deflect.

Your character's deflection bonus against ranged weapons increases to +2.

Advanced Deflect:
