( Complete Scoundrel, p. 76) 

[General] 

You are at your most dangerous when forced to protect yourself.

==== Prerequisite ====

==== Benefit ====

When fighting defensively, you deal an extra 1d6 points of damage with any light weapon or with any weapon to which the Weapon Finesse feat applies (such as a rapier, spiked chain, or whip). This feat's benefit applies only when you are unarmored or wearing light armor and not using a shield.

==== Special ====

If you have the Combat Expertise feat, you also gain the benefit of Deadly Defense when taking a penalty of at least -2 on your attack roll from that feat.
A fighter can select Deadly Defense as one of his fighter bonus feats (PH 38).
