Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mithreander" data-source="post: 1140594" data-attributes="member: 13791">Newest idea for Block attack and retaliation:Block Attack (Ex): On the swordsman's initiative, he can choose a single opponent. When that opponent attacks the swordsman, the swordsman can choose to block that opponents attack (regardless if it would hit or miss). If the swordsman's to-hit roll exceeds that of the opponent's to-hit roll, the swardsman efectively negates the attack against him and forces the opponent in a compromised position allowing the swordsman to take advantage of an AoO if he has not used all his AoOs for the round. The swordsman is only allowed to make block attacks when wielding a twohanded sword and not wearing armor or holding a shield. At level 4 and up, the swordsman is entitled a second block attack at a -5 penalty. At level 7 and up, the swordsman is entitled a third block attack each round at a -10 penalty. These extra block attacks must be used against different attacks from the chosen opponent. The swordsman can only try to negate each attack once. If the Swordsman has multiple AoOs (by feats such as combat reflexes), he is allowed to take multiple AoOs if he nanages to negate multiple attacks.I know that normally you are not allowed multiple AoO against one opponent, but I can see how it would work here. Also, this way it does not necessarely go against AC directly, so a higher dexterity will not make this ability nearly useless. What do you think?</blockquote>
