Imagine two identical rogues standing side by side. The rogues have the Opportunist rogue talent, Combat Reflexes, the Paired Opportunists teamwork feat, and Fortuitous weapon enchants on their longspears.

Now a lion charges the rogues head-on such that it ends up adjacent to both of the rogues. Assuming all attacks hit, how many attacks of opportunity are possible?

Here's what I have:

Each of the rogues gets two attacks from the lion's movement due to their Fortuitous weapons. Rogue A can use his Opportunist talent to get an additional attack because rogue B hit the lion. Similarly, rogue B gets his own additional attack through his Opportunist talent. Do any of these attacks allow further bonus attacks through the Paired Opportunists feat?

This does not allow you to take more than one attack of opportunity against a creature for a given action.

What constitutes a "given action"? Does it have to be an action undertaken by the target? Consider that the Opportunist rogue talent fires off of your ally's action, not the opponent's. What about Fortuitous - does that also activate Paired Opportunists?

Suppose A1 and A2 refer to rogue A's first two attacks, with B1, B2, etc. being analogous for rogue B.

The most liberal interpretation I have is:

Lion moves, provoking A1, A2, B1, and B2 due to Fortuitous. A2 and B2 cause B3 and A3 respectively due to Paired Opportunists. Rogue B's hit permits A4 through A's Opportunist talent, which in turn allows B4 due to Paired Opportunists. Then Rogue A's hit permits B5 through B's Opportunist talent, which causes A5 due to Paired Opportunists.

So, 10 attacks at the most... but it could be as few as 6 if Paired Opportunists is interpreted to not allow any additional attacks in this scenario.

What sayeth thee, Rules forum? How many attacks, and why?

Suppose you are playing a Paladin and your character's mother pings as evil. What do you do?

So I'm planning on having one of my characters (a Witch) craft an intelligent Ioun Torch and giving it some spell-like abilities. Naturally this has its associated mechanical benefits, but I'm worried that my GM might see fit to rain on my parade by having a monster attack the stone. What ideas do you have for protecting my little creation?

Some of the possibilities I've considered so far include Permanency'd Invisibility, a Mage Armor SLA, trying to craft the stone with adamantium, and even tiny-sized, round plate armor. I also carry around a Mirror of Guarding Reflections, which seems like it should apply to my Stone just like it does to me.

To pre-empt the Wayfinder suggestion, I'm fond of the idea of it orbiting above my head. (Hey! Listen!)

For those curious about what I'm planning on making:

Thanks!
