Combat Expertise (D20 Modern Feat)

Combat Expertise

You are trained in using your combat skill for defense.

Prerequisite: Int 13+.

Benefit: When you use the attack action or the full attack action in melee, you can take a penalty of up to –5 on your attack roll and add the same number (up to +5) to your Defense. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The changes to attack rolls and Defense last until your next action.
The bonus to your Defense is a dodge bonus (and as such it stacks with other dodge bonuses you may have).

Normal: Without the Combat Expertise feat, you can fight defensively while using the attack or full attack action to take a –4 penalty on attacks and gain a +2 dodge bonus to Defense.
