  • Type of feat: General
  • Prerequisite: None
  • Required for: None
  • Specifics: When fighting defensively or when using the Parry mode, you deal an extra 1d6 points of damage with any light weapon or with any weapon to which the Weapon Finesse feat applies (such as a rapier or whip). This feat's benefit applies only when you are unarmored or wearing light armor and not using a shield.
  • Use: Automatic.
  • Special: If you have the Combat Expertise feat, you also gain the benefit of Deadly Defense when taking a penalty of at least -2 on your attack roll from that feat.


Gameplay Notes

Deadly Defense works with all Light Weapons and either DEX- or STR-based attacks (STR-based PTWF Ranger for example).

Also it gets applied to druid's wild shapes, because weapon-creature feat is treated light weapon. (tested date 2022.05.25)
