Steel Net (Ex)
Replaces: This ability replaces the bonus feat the fighter would normally gain at 8th level.
At 8th level, an Aldori defender can create a blazing wall of steel to defend himself. When fighting defensively as a full-round action with an Aldori dueling sword, the Aldori defender’s penalties on all attacks in a round are reduced by 2, and his dodge bonus to AC increases by 2 for the same round.
