Combat Expertise [Fighter]
You are safer on the battlefield than most.
Prerequisites: Int 13
Benefits: Whenever you Fight Defensively as a standard or full-round action, increase the AC bonus by one and reduce the penalty to your attack rolls by one. In addition, improve any Shield bonus to AC you possess by an equal amount whenever you Fight Defensively with a shield in your off-hand.

Improved Combat Expertise [Fighter]
Fools hurl themselves onto your weapons in their haste.
Prerequisites: Int 13, Dex 13, Combat Expertise, Combat Finesse, +6 BAB
Benefits: Creatures that miss you with melee attacks on any round where you Fight Defensively provoke an attack of opportunity from you. If you are carrying a shield in your off-hand, you may immediately follow any attack of opportunity granted by this feat with a shield bash at the same attack bonus.


The new Combat Expertise gives you +8 to AC for a -3 penalty to attack rolls if you are carrying a shield and have 5 ranks in Tumble. The new Improved Combat Expertise now gives you two attacks against anyone who misses you if you're going sword 'n' board.

I don't know where you're getting +8 AC from. If you have 5 ranks in Tumble and are wielding a shield, it's only +5 AC (+2 base, +1 Tumble, +1 from the feat and +1 shield).

What's the Combat Finesse prerequisite for Imp. Combat Expertise? Did you mean Weapon Finesse (Dex to attack rolls) or Combat Reflexes (Def to extra AoOs)?

1) I misswrote the increase the shield bonus - it should be +8 AC (+2 Base, +1 from feat, +1 Tumble, then doubled (applied to your Shield bonus)).

2) I meant Combat Reflexes. Combat Finesse could also be a feat - who knows.
