Crane style with Stalwart

[Jubal Breakbottle]

Does the additional +1 dodge bonus to your Armor Class. affect Stalwart's ability to forgo the dodge bonus to AC you would normally gain to instead gain an equivalent amount of DR? Therefore giving +4 dodge or +4 DR for fighting defensively (+2 to start +1 for 3 ranks of Acrobatics and +1 Crane Style bonus).

Yes. Any bonus to Dodge when Fighting Defensively or using the Total Defense action results into an equivalent DR/-.

just remember stalwart does cap out though, so you will end up at a point where you're losing ac but not gaining any more dr.

Any bonus? Like from the Dodge feat, too?

How do you read that?

[lantzkev]

you didn't read his statement apparently

"any bonus to dodge when fighting defensively or using total defense" ie the dodge from using those two abilities....
