03-03-07, 07:51 AM I seem to recall reading about a feat that allowed you an additional +2 to your AC when using the combat expertise feat(i.e. you use combat expertise at -1 to hit and you gain +3AC).

However I can't seem to find this feat now that I'm reviewing my books. Am I blind and just can't see it or am I delusional and just imagining the existence of this feat?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

03-03-07, 08:26 AM No if I rememeber correctly it's a flat +2 bonus so if you use combat expertise for -5 to hit it's a +7 bonus to AC. Of course I still can't locate this hypothetical feat. So I'm beginning to lean in the delusional direction

Now if only the quarterstaff was finessable I would be a happy man.
