Does the Uncanny Dodge class feature (such as below) allow a character to retain any dodge bonus to AC that they have whilst flat-footed?
Relevant quotes:
Uncanny Dodge (Ex)
... He retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed ...Dodge Bonus
Any situation or effect (except wearing armor) that negates a character's Dexterity bonus also negates any dodge bonuses the character may have.
Yes. Uncanny dodge makes being flat-footed no longer a “situation or effect [...] that negates [the] character’s Dexterity bonus,” so you also no longer lose your dodge bonus.
Dodge (feat) said D&D 3.5
Benefit: During your action, you designate an opponent and receive a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks from that opponent
You haven't got your action, so you could not designate an opponent, so you don't have the +1 dodge bonus; but bonus from martial arts dodge (I don't remember exactly) is kept.
Edit : if you had an action and declared the dodge on the bad guy, you retain your dodge bonus from the dodge feat ;)
