It's a reaction which you like to have in your pool, whether you will be using it or not.Rogue class has to rely on positioning and eventually delay its initiative to let others go ahead and take damage instead of them.If they are then targeted, they can rely on a +2 AC ( very strong if used on the second enemy attack ).- Retributive Strike: Simply broken. 72 If you do choose to build an NPC fully using the PC rules, your NPC should generally end up being an appropriate challenge as a creature of their level.

Reactive Shield: +2 to AC till the start of next turn for a reaction is solid . 1 person marked this as a favorite. It's definitely not a must-take, but depending on your build, it isn't always going to be a bad pick either.EDIT: I guess I was mostly comparing it to other 1st level Martial feats and class abilities that give reactions. Mirror Shield: A really good effect but relies on a critical miss trigger on a spell attack which are less likely to suffer iterative penalties than melee attacks. Get a few CL boosting bonuses in (or just use greater dispel) and you can have a near guaranteed dispel / counter. Nothing else comes close. You may attempt to counterspell an opponent’s spell once per day as an immediate action (instead of a readied action). Against a boss i would save my dodge for the first attack, indeed, but i was talking about a standard encounter.
Still, there are a lot of things better than it, and it's still "not that great" IMO. Yes, it makes a difference 20% of the time, and over time that'll definitely add up, but it still feels bad to usually 'waste' your Reaction.But looking at Nimble Dodge, maybe it's just a 'feel bad' thing?

1 person marked this as a favorite. class w/ mediocre defense, that could be punishing. Nimble Roll's ability on Reflex Saves, however, can be rather good, as those AoE's tend to be a lot less frequent and a lot more impactful, so I wouldn't mind using my reaction for that.EDIT: I might put Liberating Step on the good tier. But everyone's going to have different opinions.Nimble dodge amounts to a 20% reduction in damage from one attack which isn't bad. Sorry, I was being more hyperbolic than I should by saying it was terrible, that's on me. Your next: has the same trigger as cleave a less potent but still very useful effect and much better range Shield Block: A good defensive reaction with build usage limiter, it has a strong amount of feat support. But I've got a sorcerer with Abjuration/Counterspelling in mind. As stated, you will likely want a good initiative so improved init is great (don't forget about your perception though). If PCs didn’t inherently know a first attack is more likely to hit, then maybe, but they do and a +2 to ac is massive and it can be used every turn (and will be).I mean seriously, how many reactions can you realistically use every single turn? That translates into better proficiency. Hello there! Well, as said mine is a consideration for what I happened to see playing 2 campaigns 1-5. You must log in or register to reply here. I'd give it a -2 on hit to balance it out ( for allies, a -5 which can be upgraded to -2 by wasting 2 class feats is a decent trade. So I was thinking after at the debate around shields it would be interesting to compare the different things you could potentially spend your reaction (ignoring spells slots). Each specific reason is fairly rare and/or situational, but taken together it's enough so that you can't be certain there's a second attack incoming. It's most likely *actually* 20% of the time, though, but still, it's never 50%, that number's wrong and pretty easy to compute. If you happen to have a build where none of the other 1st level feats are that useful, then you might actually want to get Nimble Dodge and use it when it makes sense. Not sure where I would place them, ... Spontaneous Counterspell: Ruining nearly a whole enemy turn for a reaction and a spell is awesome. Yes, it makes a difference 20% of the time, and over time that'll definitely add up, but it still feels bad to usually 'waste' your Reaction. General Tabletop Discussion *Pathfinder & Starfinder. Community . For rogues with no other reaction, it's fine, but generally, once you get better options, you probably don't want to use your reaction for something that will whiff so often.The idea of wasting a reaction doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

Pathfinder - Shaman Archetypes Breakdown Disclaimer. I'm not saying "50% of the time" so much as I'm saying if you always use it on the most powerful attack each turn, you're targeting a specific attack that you know has the highest opportunity to critical.That translates to 10% less likely to hit, 10% less likely to crit, and 10% more likely to critically fail (a standard strike, that means nothing but a spell or other effect might not).But it also applies to activities that involve an attack roll, which can be two action trades.so yes, 20%, but also that 20% can be pinpointed to target the most effective action and 30% when critical failure is involved.Sorry, but it's only 20% of the time, *at best* that Nimble Dodge effects the outcome of the attack.
