Hey everybody! I've been mulling this feat idea around for a while, and wanted to get people's input on it. Mainly, I wonder what people would think regarding it's play balance. All feedback is appreciated!

Feat: Press the Attack

This feat allows a combatant to follow a melee opponent who is attempting to retreat. A character with this feat, if they have not taken a map move on their turn, can take a 5 ft. step to follow an opponent that they threaten.

It is not possible to use this feat wearing armor that slows ones movement, or while encumbered.

Requirement:

Dexterity 15, Dodge, Mobility. Cannot be used while the character's movement is reduced for any reason, or while wearing medium or heavy armor, or while encumbered.

Benefit:

Normally, a character cannot move when it is not their turn. This feat allows a character who did not make a move on their turn to take a swift five foot step in pursuit of someone that they threaten. This feat can only be used once per round.
