Okay I have a small question for everyone, so attacks can be substituted for combat maneuvres ie. Disarm,sunder
Can the riposte from opportune parry and riposte do this and if so how does the AoO work if the enemy is mid attack

Only certain maneuvers can be substituted in an attack. Some require a standard action like grapple.

per prd
"An attack of opportunity "interrupts" the normal flow of actions in the round. If an attack of opportunity is provoked, immediately resolve the attack of opportunity, then continue with the next character's turn (or complete the current turn, if the attack of opportunity was provoked in the midst of a character's turn)."

So your attack goes off before the action that triggers it.

Keep in mind if you do not have the right feat your disarm AoO could trigger an AoO from the target, and that goes off before yours.


Yes, your riposte can be a disarm, sunder, or trip attempt. As the attack is only granted if you successfully parry, the enemy attack is already resolved (it missed), and there's no wonky interaction: You'll merely interrupt their full attack (if any) or impose penalties on their later attacks (if any).
