Pole Balance

(Dragon Compendium, page , DnD 3.5)

[General, Fighter Bonus Feat]

You can use your pole arm to brace yourself against impact and prevent you from falling.

Benefit

When wielding a pole arm two-handed you gain a +4 circumstance bonus to resist being bull rushed or tripped, and on any Balance checks to avoid losing your footing. You may not use this feat if you are flat-footed or if you are in a precarious position {such as onatightrope or while climbing) that does not provide you a solid surface against which to prop the weapon.

Special

A ftighter may select Pole Balance as one of his fighter bonus feats.
