[QUOTE="Volund, post: 7361949, member: 6872597"] Changing my answer with regard to Riploste: This maneuver has to be used with your reaction, and reactions have specific triggers. The trigger for Riposte is "a creature misses you with a melee attack," so to even argue that you could combine Booming Blade with Riposte you would have to have some way of casting Booming Blade as a reaction to a missed melee attack. The only way I can think of to do that would be on your turn take the Ready action to cast Booming Blade and declare that the trigger for the spell going off is a missed melee attack. Even then you face the question of whether the trigger "misses you with a melee attack" could trigger two separate reactions - Riposte and a spell attack. I would probably let you do it since both reactions use the same weapon attack, but others might not, saying you were using two reactions when you only get one per round. Riposte is a good maneuver on its own, but if you want to stack BB with it you should ask your DM to allow it or else select a different maneuver. [/QUOTE]
