Spinning Defense

(Dragon Compendium, page , DnD 3.5)

[General, Fighter Bonus Feat]

You can spin a pole arm around you, deflecting attacks.

Prerequisite

Combat Expertise, Deflect Arrows

Benefit

While wielding a pole arm during a total defense action, you receive a +1 dodge bonus to your Armor Class (that stacks with the bonuses from total defense) and you can use the Deflect Arrows feat any number of times until your next turn (you do not need an open hand to deflect ranged weapons while using this feat). While using this feat, you cannot catch any of the weapons through the Snatch Arrows feat.

Special

A fighter may select Spinning Defense as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Normal

You can only use the Deflect Arrows feat once per round.
