I want a feat that lets a charater move infront of an attack and take all the damage. Now I want this to be able to be used by say the BBEG peeon say level 1-4 not a level 12 knight. The knight is way to good to make a peeon. also i want it transfer to be a player feat.

Bodyguard [general]
You are devoted to your companions, and willing to sacrifice your body to protect them.
Prerequisite: Lightning Reflexes
Benefit: When an opponent who is adjacent to you attacks an ally who is also adjacent to you, you may interpose yourself. This is an immediate action that can be used one per encounter. The opponent automatically hits you instead and rolls damage as normal.

I think level 1-4 is a bit low-level for this. I'd crack open Complete Warrior, take a look at the Elusive Target tactical feat (and specifically its Diverting Defense special ability), and work on building up an equivalent tactical feat that focuses on sucking up damage instead of avoiding it, if I were you.
