Gaining Evasion from different sources.


Rules Questions


After a (brief) search on the boards, I couldn't find an answer to this, so here we go:

Back in the days of D&D 3.5, when you gain Evasion from two different classes, you gain Improved Evasion instead. Occurs the same in Pathfinder RPG?

Thanks for your answers! :)

It did not occur in 3.5, and does not in Pathfinder.

You (and lots of other people, from 3.0 on, including me) are thinking of Uncanny Dodge. As two of the very first D20 special abilities, that were sprinkled across several classes (and often together), with similar names (regular and Improved), it was an easy mixup.

Longer post on the subject.


Thanks for correcting me. It turns out, I've been wrong for a long time.

On other thoughts, it's a shame that the second "evasion" gets wasted though.

Yes, although stacking would give it much too quickly. It did push me to actually use an archetype for my rogue/monk though.
