I love armor tricks and use light armor tricks as much as i can. especially these two:
Reactive Mobility (Mobility, Nimble Moves): Practice has honed your reactions so that you react quickly and instinctively to threats. You add your dodge bonus granted by Mobility to your AC against all attacks of opportunity that you provoke, not just against those that are caused when you move out of or within a threatened area.
Reflexive Mobility (Combat Reflexes, Mobility): You have learned to sacrifice an opportunity to wound an opponent in order to avoid being wounded yourself. When you provoke an attack of opportunity from an opponent, you can expend one of your own potential attacks of opportunity for that round to double the bonus to your AC that you gain from the Mobility feat against that attack. This benefit applies to all attacks of opportunity that you provoke with the same action. If you are unable to take any more attacks of opportunity this turn, you cannot use this ability.
But what about characters that wear no armor! Where are their tricks? You would think that someone not wearing armor could get even better movement tricks then the ones above. So how can i get tricks without armor?
Play a monk maybe?
It would be cool if they added something like an Unarmored Versatility Light Armor Trick that would let you use Light Armor Tricks with no armor. Prerequisite would be something like requiring you to have enough ranks of Acrobatics and proficiency with Light Armor or Shields, or any kind of feat or class feature that lets you add an Armor, Deflection, Dodge, Shield, or Untyped bonus to your Armor Class as an Extraordinary or Supernatural Ability. The benefit would be the ability to use any Light Armor Trick even when not wearing any armor while using one of these abilities.
Yes i agree something! It seams discriminatory, I wonder if paizo is or may work on something for the unarmored. PLEASE! :)
Edit: Like what you said UnarcaneElection, you have a spell caster, he takes as a feat Armor Proficiency, so that when he provokes by casting a spell, he can dodge the attack! He would have to burn a feat: Armor Proficiency to combine with the other feats of Light Armor Tricks(as you have to be proficient to use), and spell casters don't get a lot of feats to begin with.
^Depending upon what you're doing, it might be better to dip martial instead of taking a separate feat.
