Epic Combat Expertise

(Complete Warrior, page 151, DnD 3.5)

[Epic]

You have extraordinary talent at using your combat skill for defense.

Prerequisite

Combat Expertise, INT 19, base attack bonus +21

Benefit

When you use the attack action or full attack action in melee, you can take a penalty of as much as -5 on your attack rolls and add the same number (+5 or less) as a dodge bonus to your Armor Class and to the Armor Class of an adjacent friendly creature. The changes to attack rolls and Armor Class last until your next action. The effect of this feat supersedes the effect of the Combat Expertise feat; you can't use both feats simultaneously to gain two dodge bonuses.
