Crane Wing

(Style, Combat)
You move with the speed and finesse of an avian hunter, your sweeping blocks and graceful motions allowing you to deflect melee attacks with ease.
 

Prerequisites

Crane Style, Dodge, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +5 or Monk, Astoran level 5th.
 

Benefit

When fighting defensively with at least one hand free, you gain a +4 Dodge Bonus to AC against melee attacks. If a Melee Attack misses you by 4 or less, you lose this Dodge Bonus until the beginning of your next turn. If you are using the Total Defense action instead, you can deflect one Melee Attack that would normally hit you. An attack so deflected deals no damage and has no other effect (instead treat it as a miss). You do not expend an action when using this feat, but you must be aware of the attack and not Flat-Footed.
 

Combat Trick

If you have a Stamina pool, the following Combat Trick may be used with this feat.
  When fighting defensively with at least one hand free, you can spend 5 Stamina points to designate a second opponent for your Crane Wing feat. You also gain a +2 Dodge Bonus to AC against that opponent’s attacks.
