Unorthodox Fighting
Your have learned to use your best qualities in place of brute
force or raw speed when performing combat maneuvers.
Benefit: Choose one ability score. You may apply that score's modifier to melee attack rolls, ranged attack rolls, to your AC (your choice when the feat is taken).
Strength - Your blows connect through sheer power, or you push your opponents out of the way.
Dexterity - You dodge through opponet's defenses and attacks.
Constitution - You won't give up an attack, enduring lesser blows to get into position.
Intelligence - You have memorized thousands of martial stances, and adapt within moments.
Wisdom - You read your opponent's movements and is keenly aware of your surroundings.
Charisma - You feint, bluff, intimidate and generally mislead your opponent into opening up for you attack or into missing you.
Normal: You add your Strength modifier to melee attack rolls, and you add Dexterity modifier to ranged attack rolls and to your AC.
This lets you create a swashbuckler that uses Charisma to attack, or a wizard that uses Intelligence to defend, etc.
