I'm working on a gnomish duelist-type, eventually taking levels in Blade Bravo, and I was wondering about the Einhander tactical feat. The first ability it presents, specifically: Narrow Profile. It essentially bumps up your AC by 2 when fighting defensively. Is there, however, any ruling on whether or not taking an attack penalty with Combat Expertise activates this AC bonus? A -1 or -2 penalty is generally sufficient in this sort of situation (see: Confound the Big Folk, Deadly Defense), but since it's not in the feat description I thought I'd ask if anyone had any idea.

I'm sorry I cannot provide a reference but I do believe using Combat Expertise counts as fighting defensively for the purposes of using feats and such. It might be in the FAQ...
