Crane Riposte Feat + Come and Get Me Rage Power?


Rules Questions


Talking to a 12th level Urban Barbarian the other day, he wants to know how those would work. Can he AoO the attack, then deflect, and AoO again?

Silver Crusade

If he has Combat Reflexes and the remaining AoO's, Yes. A character, even with Combat Reflexes, can only make one AoO per provocation. In this case CaGM lets him take one every time he's attacked, specifically resolving his attacks before the trigger. If the opponent is still alive he resolves his attack - which the Barb could Crane Riposte, triggering a second one (the action of the Crane Riposte triggers the 2nd AoO, not the enemies attack)

Is this Barb also weilding a Dwarven Dorn Dergar by chance? (1h with Dorn Dergar Mastery, ofcourse)


Nah, 12th Urban Barbarian, 8th Martial Artist Monk. When raging, he gets 16 AoO's a turn. "Stalwart and friends" feats (including Bolstered Resilience or whatever it's called) for 10/- DR, 20/- against one attack. Greater Trip and Viscous Stomp. So when you go to attack him, he interrupts to throw you on the ground, provoking two more AoO's with his fists (3d6+21 points each), then deflects that attack, another AoO. If you choose to attack more, he boosts his DR, grits his teeth, and punches you a lot more. Then Flurries and attempts to stun on his turn. Plus, still trying to figure out how to manipulate the martial artist's immunity to fatigue and the barbarian's rage gig (all those once per rage's could be used every turn). Well, I have the Flesh Wound Rage Power, but yeah, want more than that.

Oh, and thanks for the reply :) Still need to free up one more feat, though...

EDIT: May just drop Monk to 6, give him 2 levels of Fighter (Brawler). Not enough to get the +3 damage and all that whatever, but good enough for two more free feats.

Silver Crusade

If you can go Aasimar you can take a race trait (enlightened warrior) to multiclass Barb/Monk easier if a different Archetype would get you better feats (Master of Many Styles?)


I was thinking that, but I really like the immunity to fatigue that a Martial Artist gives me. Works great with a barbarian, and Bolstered Resilience.
