Description: You are trained at avoiding ranged attacks by moving or ducking.

Prerequisites: DEX 13


The character gains a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against all ranged attacks in a round in which she moves at least 10 feet, or in any circumstance when she has cover. The Precise Shot feat can negate this Armor Class bonus, but it cannot negate both this bonus and the –4 penalty for firing into melee in a single attack. Thus, a character with this feat fighting in melee against an attacker with Precise Shot forces the opponent to cope with the +4 dodge bonus but not the –4 penalty


Special

A condition that makes the character lose her Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes her lose dodge bonuses. The character must be aware of the attack to gain this bonus. Also, dodge bonuses stack with each other, unlike most other types of bonuses.
