Any feats or abilities that negate penalties when using Combat Expertise?


Advice

Grand Lodge

I'm taking the tax feat of Combat Expertise 'cause I need another feat. Are there any feats or abilities that negate/reduce the penalty for using Combat Expertise so I'll at some point actually use it?

edit: just found this, anything else like it?

You know how to avoid a blow while still maintaining your offensive posture.

Benefit: When you use Combat Expertise, reduce the number you subtract from your melee attack rolls by 1.


There's a spell, Blade Tutor's Spirit, that can help:

When you voluntarily use one or more actions or feats that apply penalties to attack rolls with your melee weapons (such as a charge, fighting defensively, or using the Power Attack feat), the spirit reduces the total penalty on affected attacks by 1 (to a minimum penalty of 0). The penalty is reduced by an additional 1 for every 5 caster levels you possess (to a minimum penalty of 0). Only penalties incurred by voluntary use of feats or maneuvers are reduced by this spell.

Combat Expertise (Mythic)
You can dart out of the way of attacks with skill and defiance.

Prerequisite(s): Combat Expertise.

Benefit: Whenever you use Combat Expertise, you gain an additional +2 dodge bonus to your armor class. You can expend one use of mythic power to negate the penalties on melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks caused by using Combat Expertise for 1 minute.

and this:

Adaptive Tactics (Ex)

At 4th level, a swordlord learns to adapt his fighting style to counter his enemy's strengths. A swordlord reduces the attack roll penalty for fighting defensively and/or using Combat Expertise by 1 at 4th level, increasing to 2 at 8th level. In addition, after a swordlord uses his dueling sword to attack a creature he attacked during the previous round, as a swift action he can attempt a Sense Motive check (with a DC equal to 10 + the opponent's base attack bonus). If the check is successful, the swordlord can choose to gain a +2 circumstance bonus either on attack rolls or to AC against that creature until the beginning of his next turn.

I thought I saw another one at one point, but I can't recall where.


If you get the Stamina feat from Unchained I believe you can temporarily negate it.
