[QUOTE="Aaron2, post: 1669024, member: 1436"] OK, lets do this .... You probably need to specify the affect this has on charges. Using AoOs in this way is troublesome as it lets you move faster if, say, your friend standing next to you is firing a bow. Also, what is "evading a Grapple"? So, you give up an attack now to take an AoO later at +2. If the character gives up his last iterative attack (at, say, -15) does this AoO occur at full BAB (as normal AoOs do). If so you've just given him +17 to hit. Also, AoOs normally take place before the action that triggered them, not after. I'm not sure why this feat even exists; aren't your normal attacks counterattacks already? What is a "thrusting attack"? What is a "secondary thrusting capacity"? Not a bad idea but needs to be reworded. Does the 5' step have to be towards the opponent? If so, specify that. Also, is the move+attack a Standard action? Again, "single-handed thrusting weapon" should be "one-handed piercing weapon" (AFAICT). Half swording is a pretty basic technique. I doubt it should require a feat and weapon focus. Anyway, what's with the "taken two times" thing? You can certainly half sword with normal swords as well. Also, if I'm using a bastard sword one-handed do I need two-hands? (of course, but, again, specify this kind of stuff). What is a "close-range" attack? The Initiative bonus is totally wrong. It makes no sense. Also, why does Improved Half Swording give you a AC bonus when normal half swording gives you a AC penalty? Again, this is so common I would just assume the PC does it when it makes sense to.
