Idea for new Feat: Active Defense


Skills & Feats


I propose Active Defense as a counter to Spring Attack.
Spring attack allows a melee attack without provoking an attack of opportunity from the defender.High level characters my be less likely to be caught out by this attack.

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Base attack bonus +6.

Whenever an opponent uses the Spring Attack Feat, you can make a single attack of opportunity against that opponent provided you are not flat-footed or otherwise denied using your Dexterity bonus.

Special: A fighter can select this as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Any thoughts, and if I have missed a similar feat please let me know where I can find it.
