Weapon and Armor Proficiency

A mastermind is proficient with all simple and martial weapons but not with any armor or shields.

Canny Defense (Ex)

When wearing light encumbrance and wearing no armor and not using a shield, a mastermind adds his Intelligence bonus as a dodge bonus to CMD and Armor Class while wielding a melee weapon. If a mastermind is caught unarmed or is flat-footed or otherwise denied his Dexterity bonus, he also loses this bonus. A mastermind with the Improved Unarmed Combat feat is never considered unarmed. This replaces the bonus feat gained at level 2 and 17.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex)

At 9th level, a mastermind can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does he lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. He still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A mastermind with this ability can still lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against him. This replaces the bonus feat gained at level 9.
