Back Off
 |
You are skilled at stepping out of the way when someone attacks you.
Prerequisites: Dexterity 13, Dodge (revised), Mobility.
Benefit: If an opponent’s actions allow you to perform an attack of opportunity, instead of attacking, you may take a single 5-foot step. Your 5-foot step may not take you into any square that is threatened by one or more of your opponents. Using this feat counts as one of your attacks of opportunity for the round. After your 5-foot step, your opponent may continue his or her action normally.
Normal: Attacks of opportunity normally do not allow you to make any movement, only a single melee attack.
Special: Unless you have Combat Reflexes or some other ability that grants you extra attacks of opportunity, you can only back off once per round.
