Improved expertise

From NWNWiki

Type of Feat: General

Prerequisite: Int 13, Expertise

Specifics: A character with this feat can make defensive attacks, gaining a +10 bonus to armor class but receiving a -10 penalty to attack rolls.

Use: Combat Mode.

[edit] Notes

• Added in the expansion packs.
• This feat does not replace expertise, allowing a character with both feats to choose the lesser attack penalty of expertise instead of the larger AC bonus of improved expertise.
• By default, NWN allows spellcasting while using improved expertise. However, BioWare included a switch to disable it via scripting using spellhooking.
  • Under the default behavior, this can be a useful feat for casters who do not make attacks, as they will gain the AC benefit at effectively no cost.
• This combat mode cannot be used while wielding a ranged weapon.
