ART of DEFENCE II
Some of the 32 feats presented here are adapted
from other sources, while most are original. All of
the feats are of the general type. They are presented
in the standard format:
Welcome to Art of Defence II , a book of combat-
related feats. The first Art of Defence detailed 11 feats
that deal with different styles of combat. This book
provides 32 feats that provide tactical options in
combat. The d20 System TM combat mechanics allow
for a great deal of strategy and tactics in battle. Art of
Defence II provides feats that can be used by many
different character types, not just broad-chested
fighters brandishing greatswords. Some feats do
apply to basic melee attacks, but many deal instead
with tactical movement, leadership and teamwork,
attacks of opportunity, or dealing with opponents in
unusual ways. It your characters are ever involved
in a fight, there's something here for you.

the critical. For example, you are using a weapon
