Catch Off-Guard (Combat)


Foes are surprised by your skilled use of unorthodox and improvised weapons.

Benefit: You do not suffer any penalties for using an improvised melee weapon. Unarmed opponents are flat-footed against any attacks you make with an improvised melee weapon.

Normal: You take a –4 penalty on attack rolls made with an improvised weapon.


Endzeitgeist Says: Note that monks and those pesky martial artists treat their unarmed attacks as armed ones, so not exploits versus them. Other than that, this feat can be absolutely awesome in the hands of a rogue - flatfooted targets mean Sneak Attack: Needles, bottles, combs - charismatic characters who could bluff their foes can take out foes with this feat before combat even starts!
