Two-Weapon Warrior Deadly Defense...

[Nordlander]

The capstone for this Archetype seems quite powerful but with a caveat.

The whole archetype is built around full-attacking as weapon training is foregone for a bonus to hit and damage on full attacks (yes technically other abilities are provided for weapon 2,3,4 but not germane) so the Fighters always on +4/+4 (level 20) is replaced by a situational equivalent "Twin Blades" , not aided by Gloves of Dueling.

The capstone provides for a retaliatory AOO to attacks after full-attacking but nothing in its language suggest that "Twin Blades" would apply to such an AOO. Now I suppose Deadly Defense is quite dangerous enough as is, but would it have been overpowered to suggest that Twin Blades applies to AOO's on the round following a full-attack?

Op or not, Deadly defense does work with equal opportunity. Seems like a really great ability.

Yeah, what they lose on the straight-ways, they gain on the swings. Since they don't get Twin Blades to anything outside of Full-Attacks, they get abilities to employ both weapons in situations that would otherwise be single attacks (standard action attack and AoO). So they get more hits, even though those hits have slightly reduced chance to hit and damage. This can be compensated for in other ways.
