Riposte feat (from Aquilonia and Hyboria's Finest)
- Thread starter quigs
- Start date
So nobody knows this or owns Hyboria's Finest? Come on. There's been like 50 views on this thread and no replies? Can somebody PLEASE take a minute to look this up? I have a PC who wants to take the feat under the assumption that it does not require the usage of an AoO and therefore, he can do it on every Parry he makes.
Well I don't have either my Aquilonia or Finest books with me, but I would think that Finest would be the vesion to go by since it's the newer book I believe. I only have my core rules with me as all my gamebooks are at the house where I play so I can't read the feat itself.
If your running the game then really it's up to you to choose which one you think is right. If the effect is limited to once a round then I might be more inclined myself to go with the no AoO cost, but if it's useable as often as you can, go with the AoO version so it's not unstoppable.

This sounds interesting, I'll have to look these up when I get home from work. In fencing, riposte is simply to return the steel. Fencer B parries Fencer A's attack, then he in return attacks Fencer A.
A ------> B (A attacks B)
B <------ A (B parries A (above) then he ripostes (attacks the attacker back)
Or, for you theatrical fencing choreographers, this is an example of how it's written out for a play or movie fight:
Fencer 1 ------------------ Fencer 2
Thrust to Flank --------> Parry 2
Parry 3 <------------------ Riposte w/ Outside Cheek Cut
I'll have to see how this feat works.

The PC in my group who wants this feat is trying to get as many retaliation attacks back against his foes as possible. He has an idea to take this feat, as well as a couple from Iron Heroes that I'm allowing that basically give him attacks of opportunity against people that he parries.
But I'm going to limit this to one attack per miss, no matter what feat(s) he's using just because it seems rather silly to have a guy miss once, then take 3 attacks back from it.

Sorry Sutek, didn't write it as a contradiction to you, was just surprised to read how it appeared 
:lol: . I think this was gone over at some prior point somewhere in these forums, but that's not important.
Hey, I was just bored at work and thinking about the final class for the summer fencing term this week when I saw this thread. Guess I shoulda been a little more relaxed and not so coffee-hyper. :lol:
