[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8045463, member: 6987520"] Honestly, I would just remove this stipulation. It is a bit wordy and really not necessary IMO. Any way, if you consider the bonus to AC this provides, +2 at level 1-4, at [I]best[/I] this will only be used 10% of the time. So, the riposte-attack would not happen often really because the margin is so narrow. A number of times when you get hit, and attempt to Parry, the bonus is small enough you are more likely to still be hit and the Riposte won't trigger. At the other end of the spectrum, when AC bonus provided becomes +6, this bumps this up to 30% of the time at most. Powerful? Sure, an additional attack about 1 in 3 rounds? But then we are in Tier 4 so expected IMO. I certainly don't think this is too powerful of an addition. I agree with those who favor making this a half feat (instead of Riposte), and I think removing the finesse property requirement would be a good suggestion as well either way.
