Dodging Panache Deed and Mobility Feat


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

Do these two stack? The deed says "This movement is not a 5-foot step" and the feat says "...when you move out of...". A 4 + CHA to armor class would be amazing!

Deed Text:
Dodging Panache (Ex): At 1st level, when an opponent attempts a melee attack against the swashbuckler, she can spend 1 panache point to move 5 feet as an immediate action; doing so grants the Swashbuckler a bonus to AC equal to her Charisma bonus against the triggering attack. This movement doesn’t negate the attack, which is still resolved as if the swashbuckler was in the original square. This movement is not a 5-foot step; it provokes attacks of opportunity from creatures other than the one who triggered this deed. The swashbuckler can only perform this deed while wearing light or no armor, and while carrying no more than a light load

Mobility Feat:
You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused when you move out of or within a threatened area. A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. Dodge bonuses stack with each other, unlike most types of bonuses


It would only stack if the triggering attack was an attack of opportunity caused by movement itself.

On second look, you're absolutely right! It says it right there in the Mobility Feat "...against attacks of opportunity".

Thanks for your quick reply!
