(General)
Others whisper that you're little more than a golem obeying orders. They're wrong, but your dedication is clear.
Prerequisites
Improved Iron Will,
Iron Will, base attack bonus +8.
Benefit
When you fail a
Will Save against a mind-affecting effect that would cause you to lose control of your actions (such as dominate person or hideous laughter), you can instead opt to follow a rudimentary programming. For a number of rounds equal to half your level (minimum 1) you gain the
Staggered condition and must either attack a designated target within 60 feet or hold position. If you hold position, you take the
Total Defense action instead of taking whatever action the mind-affecting effect would force you to take. If you choose to attack a target, you must either make a
Ranged Attack, make a
Melee Attack, or move closer to the designated target. If the mind-affecting effect has not been resolved by the time the effects of this feat end, then you are subject to the effect as normal.
