General Rules: Feats - Desperate Defense

Desperate Defense [General] (from the Unholy Warrior's Handbook)
By sacrificing your body, you become harder to hit.
   Benefit: You may inflict damage equal to your Constitution and exchange this damage for an equal amount of deflection bonus. This bonus remains until you heal the ability damage; the deflection bonus reduces at the same rate as the ability damage heals. Injuring yourself in this manner is a free action, and you heal the ability damage as detailed on page 146 of the Player's Handbook. A reduction in Constitution affects hit points, Constitution-based skills, and Fortitude saves.
