Stalwart feat and doge bonuses


Rules Questions


Would a Caricature with the stall wort feat replace his whole doge bonus or just the doge bonus gains from fighting defensively?
he is the situation a Caricature has the stalwart feat, 3 ranks in acrobatics, and some one is using aid another to AC
would this give him a Dr of 5 or would it give him a Dr of 3
also would the doge feat work with this?
Thanks

Benefit: While using the total defense action, fighting defensively action, or Combat Expertise, you can forgo the dodge bonus to AC you would normally gain to instead gain an equivalent amount of DR, to a maximum of DR 5/—, until the start of your next turn. This damage reduction stacks with DR you gain from class features, such as the barbarian's, but not with DR from any other source. If you are denied your Dexterity bonus to AC, you are also denied this DR.

The Stalwart feat converts the dodge bonus you gain from Total Defense, Fighting Defensively, or Combat Expertise into DR/-.

The Dodge feat is a dodge bonus, but the bonus does not come from Total Defense, Fighting Defensively, or Combat Expertise, so it cannot be converted to DR/-.
Aid another is not a dodge bonus, and aid another is not Total Defense, Fighting Defensively, or Combat Expertise, so would likewise not be converted to DR/-.

IF this is so how do you max out stalwart?

You can combat expertise and fight defensively at the same time.

Also, Combat Expertise maxes out at +6 AC for a full BAB character, so you'll max it out using Combat Expertise alone by level 16.

Acrobatics + Crane Style can also increase the Dodge AC for Fighting Defensively.

The halfling racial feat Cautious fighter also increases the dodge bonus from fighting defensively.

Do doge bonuses stack, or do I use the best macro currently in effect?
