Fighting Defensively is a Standard Action = No Full Attack or Flurry of Blows?


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

This CRB states:

Fighting Defensively as a Standard Action: You can
choose to fight defensively when attacking. If you do so,
you take a –4 penalty on all attacks in a round to gain a +2
dodge bonus to AC until the start of your next turn.

Does this mean that you cannot fight defensively when using a full attack action or flurry of blows?


The CRB later states:

Fighting Defensively as a Full-Round Action wrote:
Fighting Defensively as a Full-Round Action: You can choose to fight defensively when taking a full-attack action. If you do so, you take a –4 penalty on all attacks in a round to gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC for until the start your next turn.

So you can fight defensively on a standard action or as part of a full-attack action.
