Retributive Reach and AOO


Rules Questions


Retributive Reach (Ex)

Treat your reach as 5 feet greater than normal for the purpose of determining whether or not you can make an attack of opportunity. If a creature provokes an attack of opportunity within this area of increased reach, you can expend one use of mythic power to gain a bonus equal to your tier on the attack roll and damage roll of the attack of opportunity.

My question is this:

Would walking up to a person with Retributive strike provoke an attack?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

If they leave a square that you now threaten due to the feat yes. Otherwise no.

Scarab Sages

The character with retributive strike threatens at 10ft (assuming a meidum creature with a non reach weapon). That means that to get into normal melee range with him/her, you leave a threatened square and provoke an AOO.


Sorry for the late revival, but I had something along the similar lines:

For flavor/descriptive purposes how would one visualize this? I get that its a mythic quality, so they can do some superheroic stuff, but from my general visual, if you now have a 10 foot reach for AoO, but don't have to move (at least, you don't trigger any AoO from using this ability) to smack things in your 10' area how does this get described?

Dude 10 feet away from me tries to flee out of the area. I smack him and end up back in my spot, ala Lunge, I do some sorta coincidence damage that equals my attack check, like, he tries to flee, flavor wise without moving I kick up a cobblestone and smack him with it? some sorta jackie chan chain reaction thing where I hit a conveniently placed object that smacks another object that then smacks the guy in the face?
