Dodge Roll (Movement)
Prerequisites: Tumble 8 ranksBenefit: You may initiate a roll dodge as an immediate action as a response to an attack roll made against you, or an effect that allows a Reflex save. During the dodge roll, you gain a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class and Reflex saves against this attack or effect, with an additional +1 for every 4 ranks you possess in the Tumble skill.
As you perform a dodge roll, you move 5 feet in a chosen direction. If this movement puts you outside of the area of effect you were dodging, you also count as having evasion for the purpose of dodging the effect. If you already have evasion, this becomes effective improved evasion, and if you already have improved evasion, the bonus to Reflex saves increases by another +4.
Using a dodge roll however leaves you wide open to subsequent attack, conferring a -4 penalty to Armor Class and Reflex saves until the start of your next turn after the dodge roll is used. The dodge roll also immediately expends your next turn's move action.
You cannot perform a dodge roll on difficult terrain.
