dodge feat question?


Rules Questions

Lantern Lodge

Does the "dodge feat" grant a +1 to all Dex Mods,REFLEX,SKILLS,INIT??? Or does it just grant +1 to Your AC and that it. I feel that the dodge feat would make all your dex mods go up but my friend says its an AC bonus only. Also does your armor check apply to reflex saves??

just wondering about this

thanks

It's just a dodge bonus to AC. It doesn't modify your dexterity. However if you are denied your DEX bonus (like for flat-footed) you lost that bonus as well, I believe.


No. Dodge provides a +1 dodge bonus to AC. You lose that bonus if you lose your Dex bonus to AC for some reason (flat-footed, condition, etc.)


It says in the text of the feat that it gives +1 dodge bonus to AC. Since it doesn't say it improves your skills, reflex saves, etc, there's no reason at all for you to have assumed it does.

Armor check does not apply to reflex saves.

Harley and Voodoo covered the main question but..

...the Dodge Feat is still useful. Dodge bonuses stack so; Dodge feat, Fighting Defensively, total defense, Combat Expertise all stack.

Fighting Defensively = -4 to Att +2 Dodge to AC
Dodge Feat + fighting Defensively = -4 Att, +3 to AC

Great for light/no armor classes

thanks for clearing that up with me on this.


Another thing that makes dodge bonuses more attractive is that they also add to your CMD.

Actually, it adds to AC and CMD... because dodge bonuses to AC add to CMD too.


Yip. Basically whenever you add your dex to AC Also add the +1 dodge AC from Dodge. And all dodge bonuses stack :P

This also reminds me of this
