But I am looking at my newer version of Block Attack which incorporates the two special abilities of Retaliation and block. Plus, AC wound not even be a factor in my ussage of block, for it could be used if the opponent missed as well as hit. With the chances to block as they areI may indeed look at going to 4 blocks. DId you look at my latest rendition of block?Block and Retaliate (ex):On a swordsman's initiative he can choose a single opponent. When that opponent attacks the swordsman with a melee attack, the swordsman can choose to block it (regardless of if it hits, or misses). If the swordsman's to-hit roll exceeds his opponents to hit roll, he successfull blocked that attack, which inturn negates any damage the attack may have caused. Furthermore Blocked attacks throw off the opponent and open an AoO for the swordsman against that opponent. At level 4 the swordsman can block the same opponent twice in a single round, three times at level 7 and a maximim of 4 times at level 10. Each block after the first suffers an additional -3 'to-hit' (+0 first attack, -3 second, -6 third, -9 forth). These block attacks must be used against different attacks from the opponent, thus only one block per attack can be attempted. A swordsman can only use Block Attack if he is wearing no armor, not holding a shield, and using a two-handed sword.I'm also concidering adding some natural armor bouses and/or dodge bonus plus perhaps some damage risistance to slashing and piercing weapons.What do you think? What does ANYONE think?</blockquote>
