Vest of Defense

This snug-fitting vest is crafted from the skin of a huge tan-and-black snake.

A vest of defense improves your ability to dodge attacks. When activated, this vest improves the dodge bonus to AC granted by fighting defensively, the total defense action, or the Combat Expertise feat by 2. Using more than one of these techniques doesn’t provide more than a +2 bonus. This bonus lasts for 1 round.

This ability functions three times per day.
