Uncanny Dodge, when granted from the SB cores, doesn't grant the passive Dodge bonus that the Rogue/Barb autogrant does (and like it says it should in your Feat list). Is this WAI or not?

I could see it go either way - a bug, or an intentionally limited version of the Feat - and its not a Known Issue, so I was hoping a dev might provide some insight.

Why would it grant the additional dodge that you get for Barbarian or Rogue levels? You get 6% dodge from the Swashbuckler Cores already, which is equal to what barbs and rogues get from uncanny dodge. With 13% more available in the tree, it's not like a swash hurts for dodge.

Why would Uncanny Dodge work like Uncanny Dodge? I dunno...

Maybe they should rename it Slightlycanny Dodge.

Seriously, they should rename that Swashbuckler feature to not resemble Uncanny Dodge at all. Just list the specific effects it gives, without comparing it to the features of any other class.

I agree it should be named different

As far as OP yes Devs said this is WAI

The important part of Uncanny Dodge is the clickie; I'm pretty sure any Swashbuckler can hit their max Dodge cap just fine w/out the +1% Dodge which rogs & barbs get from UD feat.
