Feint attempts only require a move action, even without the feat Improved Feint. A successful Feint attempt means that the target receives the Feint or Improved Feint condition for one round (it expires at the start of the next round of the character who performed the feint). With the standard feint, the victim loses its Dexterity bonus to AC against all attacks from the character who performed the feint. With the improved feint, the victim loses its Dexterity bonus to AC against all attacks from everyone. Creatures who have lost their Dexterity bonus to AC are vulnerable to Sneak attacks. They also lose any Dodge bonus to AC. A feint requires opposed attack rolls. Unlike Disarm or Sunder, a two-handed weapon does not provide a bonus. For these special opposed attack rolls, both participants may use their Intelligence modifier, instead of their Strength modifier (or Dexterity modifier with Weapon Finesse). The ability offering the highest modifier is used.

Greater Feint: Once per round, you can perform a feint attempt as a Swift Combat Manoeuvre, meaning that the attempt does not require spending a standard action or a move action.
