Improved Duck and Cover

[Darche Schneider]

I'm reading this feat here.. and I can't for the life of me figure out what its trying to do.

Whenever you use Duck and Cover, your ally has evasion or improved evasion, and your ally succeeds at its saving throw, half of the damage you would have taken is transferred to your ally. (This damage is not reduced by the ally's evasion or improved evasion.)

As written, it just kinda seems like a richard move here. You pick that up, and now they take half the damage all the time even when the succeed.

I think it is suppose to be something like

Whenever you use duck and cover, and your ally has evasion or improved evasion, and they succeed their saving throw, half the damage you take is transferred to them (This damage is not reduced by the ally's evasion or improved evasion.)

Your ally takes 0 dmg via evasion. You don't have evasion so you take 50. You use duck and cover and now you both take 25 instead of 0 and 50.

It's basically letting you share the damage. Hopefully your ally isn't pissed about it.
