You use your intelligence and guile to avoid your opponents' maneuvers.

Prerequisite(s): Int 15, canny defense class feature

Benefit: When wearing light or no armor, not using a shield, and wielding a melee weapon, you add your canny defense bonus to your Combat Maneuver Defense in addition to your Armor Class. You still lose these bonuses if you are caught flat-footed.

Normal: Normally your canny defense bonus applies only to your Armor Class.
