Swashbuckler's Nimble bonus


Class Discussion


I was wondering if this ability counts as having the dodge feat; since that is essentially what it is; except renamed. Would this allow me to take feats that require Dodge as a prerequisite, or do I have to use (waste) a feat to get dodge, so I can then obtain Mobility?


It does not state that you gain the Dodge feat, so you do not qualify for Mobility.

On the other hand, taking Dodge would not be much of a waste, since dodge bonuses to AC always stack, so you just even even MORE nimble by taking the feat.

I figured as much. I'd just rather not take Dodge when I already have dodge +3 at 11th level and not be able to get mobility without increasing it to +4 using my 11th level feat, then waiting to 12th level to use my bonus feat for mobility.

Just my opinion.
