Close-Quarters Fighting

( Races of Faerûn, p. 162)

[General]

You are skilled at resisting grapple attacks from creatures that usually grapple opponents.

Prerequisite

Base attack bonus +3,

Benefit

When you are attacked by a creature with the improved grab ability, you may still make an attack of opportunity. Any damage you inflict with this attack of opportunity provoked by the grapple attempt is added to your ensuing grapple check to avoid being grappled. For example, a dire bear strikes you with a claw attack. If you don't have this feat, the dire bear's improved grab ability allows it to immediately attempt a grapple check, provoking no attack of opportunity from you. However, with Close-Quarter Fighting, you are entitled to an attack of opportunity. If you hit and score 8 points of damage, you may add +8 (plus your attack bonus, Strength bonus, and size modifier) to your grapple check to resist the dire bear's grapple attempt.

Normal

A creature without this feat does not get an attack of opportunity against a creature with the improved grab ability that tries to grapple it.
