(General)
You adopt a defensive stance that allows you to absorb and redirect hits.
Prerequisites
Diehard,
Endurance, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit
While using the
Total Defense action,
Fight Defensively action, or
Combat Expertise, you can forgo the
Dodge Bonus to AC you would normally gain to instead gain an equivalent amount of DR, to a maximum of DR 5/-, until the start of your next turn. This
Damage Reduction stacks with DR you gain from class features, such as the
Barbarian's or
Monk, Shan Lun, but not with DR from any other source. If you are denied your
Dexterity bonus to AC, you are also denied this DR.
