Swashbuckler Deedsand Litany of Sloth

[PrinceDogWaterIII]

This is a quick question I have about Swashbuckler's deed Opportune Parry interact if at all with Litany of Sloth? Both descriptions below.

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.

Litany of Sloth:

With a litany against the wages of sloth, you slow the target’s defenses. The target cannot make attacks of opportunity or cast spells defensively.

Would Litany of Sloth make a Swashbuckler's Opportune Parry Deed unusable for that round?

It seems that way, yes.

I can find no reason that it doesn't. LoS makes you unable to make AoOs, and OPaR requires you have available AoOs to use it. If you cannot make an AoO because you don't have combat reflexes and this would be the second AoO for the round it is no different than if you can't make any because you are under the effect of LoS. At least to me.

[Cyrus Lanthier]

"Cannot make attacks of opportunity" isn't the same as "has no uses of attacks of opportunity." As you don't seem to have to threaten to Parry, it's quite different from actually making an attack of opportunity. RaW I think you can still parry. RaI is debatable, I think.

Claxon, would a gunslinger, in your opinion, lose access to deeds like Gunslinger Initiative (bonuses so long as you have a grit point remaining) if he were somehow prevented from spending Grit?

[DarkPhoenixx]

Yet you can loose your dexterity bonus even if you dont have any.
RAW it seems not.
RAI - "expend a use of an attack of opportunity to" "makes an attack roll as if she were making an attack of opportunity" but guess what, it is still not attack of opportunity, so why spell that designed to burden target in the way that denies fast dexterous movements such as striking swiftly at opportune time or parrying incoming attack would affect it.
In short i belive it is designed to work like Bodyguard feat, just written in wierd way.
