Opportune Parry question


Rules Questions


Before I ask this, know I tried looking up this answer and couldn't seem to find it as there is a large amount of threads with "parry" involved. This has nothing to do with the riposte, only the parry.

Assuming my character has Combat Reflexes, and a dex of say 16, this would land him with 1 +3 from Dex. Lets also assume this character has 4 Panache, or whatever other resource would be used for Opportune Parry and Riposte.

Our character is attacked by an opponent, and 3 attacks are rolled.

Can our character parry each of the attacks?
IF yes, is it due to having combat reflexes?
If no, why not?

Our character is now facing two opponents, following the same stats, and numbers above, with 1 attack coming from each opponent.

Can our character parry each of the attacks?
IF yes, is it due to having combat reflexes?
If no, why not?


Yes.
Combat Reflexes and dex 16 can make him parry up to 4 attacks per round if he pays the necessary panache.
About Riposte, it's just once per round as a immediate action when you successfully parry (I know this question as nothing to do with riposte.I just wanted to make sure people will see it).


Opportune Parry and Riposte:
(Ex): At 1st level, when an opponent makes a melee attack against the swashbuckler, she can spend 1 panache point and expend a use of an attack of opportunity to attempt to parry that attack. The swashbuckler makes an attack roll as if she were making an attack of opportunity; for each size category the attacking creature is larger than the swashbuckler, the swashbuckler takes a –2 penalty on this roll. If her result is greater than the attacking creature's result, the creature's attack automatically misses. The swashbuckler must declare the use of this ability after the creature's attack is announced, but before its attack roll is made. Upon performing a successful parry and if she has at least 1 panache point, the swashbuckler can as an immediate action make an attack against the creature whose attack she parried, provided that creature is within her reach. This deed's cost cannot be reduced by any ability or effect that reduces the number of panache points a deed costs.

Anytime an opponent announces a melee attack against the swash, before they roll the swash can spend a Panache and an AoO to parry. The only limit would be the swash's pools of AoO and Panache.


Wonderful thank you for the speedy reply. :)
