Defensive awareness
From NWNWiki
(Redirected from Defensive Awareness)
Type of feat: class
Prerequisite: dwarven defender 2 (5, 10)
Specifics: There are three versions of this feat with cumulative benefits.
(1): The character retains his dexterity bonus to AC, even if caught flat-footed or attacked by a hidden or invisible creature.
(2): The character can no longer be flanked, since he can react to opponents on opposite sides of him as easily as he can react to a single attack.
(3): The character gains an intuitive sense that alerts him to danger from traps, giving a +1 bonus to reflex saves made to avoid traps.
Use: automatic
[edit] Notes
- Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
- The inability to be flanked, granted by defensive awareness (2), is extremely powerful in that it makes a character immune to sneak attacks whenever he is attacking something. However, this immunity is only effective while attacking — if the character stops attacking (such as when he can no longer reach his current target), he becomes subject to sneak attacks again.
