canny tumble / combat patrol

[Kegnor]

Question: Can I use canny tumble feat if I provoke an attack of opportunity when moving as part of combat patrol feat, thus giving me +2 to attack roll and denying enemy their Dex to AC if I succeed at acrobatics check, on any attack of opportunities I can make against the enemy I made the check against until my next turn?

You have to successfully use Acrobatics to avoid AoO in order to trigger Canny Tumble.

Combat Patrol says you provoke AoO "as normal" which also implies you can avoid AoO as normal.

So if you have Combat Patrol set up, and use Acrobatics to move through a threatened area, you will get the Canny Tumble bonus.

The bonus only applies on your next attack, however, not all attacks made during Combat Patrol.

Also, in most cases, using acrobatics slows your movement unless you add 10 to the DC. This will limit the useful area of Combat Patrol.

So I can have multiple instances of canny tumble triggered on multiple enemies and get the bonus if they provoke an attack of opportunity from me before my next turn?

[Claxon]

Canny Tumble will at most trigger once per enemy since any movement you make on your turn can only provoke once (which means you can only avoid one attack of opportunity from them).

However, your movement could potentially provoke from multiple enemies and you could use acrobatics to avoid those multiple AoO, and Canny Tumble would be usable against any of them.
