A monk and a bralwer walk into a bar, and the brawler forgot what feat to use


Rules Questions


A few months ago, my brawler (then level 3) participated in a battle with a bunch of opponents, including a higher level monk. I intended to use a feat with Martial Flexibility. The feat required Weapon Focus in a particular weapon, and I would gain +2 to AC against that weapon. Since I had Weapon Focus (unarmed strike), this would be very effective against a monk.

Unfortunately, the way the battle flowed, I never got to cross paths with that monk. Instead I took a lot of Strength damage from poison while fighting rogues (who, fortunately, were unable to flank and sneak attack me). Maybe this is for the best, because... is it possible the feat that I had wanted to use doesn't exist, and I accidentally made it up?

I tried combing through the PSRD database and I cannot find such a feat. Does anyone know if this feat exists, or did I mistake a daydream for the real thing?

Was it Defensive Weapon Training?


Yes.

Seems like the feat really does exist... but I couldn't have used it as I didn't have the BAB requirement. I'm still going to write that onto my "suggested martial flexibility" list, as I'm literally 200 XP from hitting 5th-level.
