[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6082862, member: 22424"] I'm reasonably sure that doesn't work. There are three feats there that grant an AoO when someone attacks you, but that's redundant - each opportunity only grants one attack. There's no point in having Karmic Strike and Robilar's Gambit and Defensive Throw. (Curiously, the SRD doesn't match my PHB, in which Combat Reflexes says you can make multiple AoOs in the round, but no more than one per target. The SRD does allow multiple AoOs on a single target, but only one per opportunity.) So, an incoming attack could potentially be met with three counter-attacks - sword & axe (Double Hit), then a potential trip if both hit (High Sword Low Axe), and then possibly sword again if the trip works (Improved Trip). I suppose that if the target then were to stand up from prone, that would provoke another AoO, giving another sword & axe combo (though that depends on the reading of Combat Reflexes). But since the AoO occurs [i]before[/i] the action that triggers it, it can't trip the opponent again, nor can it prevent him from standing. [/QUOTE]
