Expert Tactician Blow...is it an AoO

[Kazoo]

Does the blow that is gained from the Expert Tactician feat count as an Attack of Opportunity for the round?

 

[Jondor_Battlehammer]

Since the feat calls it an extra attack, and states that it happens on your turn, and it happens before OR after you standard actions, and you can potenially choose from several targets wether or not they move throu your threatended area, I'd have to say no, it's simply an extra attack. It functions in no way like an AoO, and would be less useful than Combat Reflexes if it did.

 

[shilsen]

No. Unless a feat specifically refers to the attack it grants as an AoO, it isn't one. Expert Tactician just grants an extra attack when the given conditions are met.

Technically its not an AOO, although I have no idea why it isn't... It would have been so much easier just to say, "Any creature adjacent to a character with this feat provokes an AOO whenever they are flatfooted. Only one AOO may be granted by this feat per round." Instead its a partial action, and then they have to errata it so you can't fireball the enemy archer whenever a there is a blind kobold next to you. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Its not a partial action. Its an attack action.

Its not a partial action. Its an attack action.

It was a partial action.

Hence "and then they have to errata it"...
