Does Panther Parry stack with itself?


Rules Questions

Your vicious strikes impair your foe’s ability to attack you when you move.

Prerequisite: Wis 15, Combat Reflexes, Improved Unarmed Strike, Panther Claw, Panther Style.

Benefit: While using Panther Style, your retaliatory unarmed strikes are resolved before the triggering attacks. If your retaliatory unarmed strike deals damage to an opponent, that opponent takes a –2 penalty on attack and damage rolls with the triggering attack of opportunity.

With panther claw, you are able to make as many attacks as your Wisdom Modifier, so if you make 3 attacks and they all hit and deal damage, then does your opponent suffer a -6 to his AoO? Or is it just a one-time penalty if any of your attacks hit?

Sovereign Court

If you could theoretically make more than one attack per opponent with Panther Style - then yes. But you can never make more than one attack per opponent with it.

The reason? No one can ever get more than a single AOO vs a single target each turn for moving out of a threatened space.

In 3.5 you could. In Pathfinder you can't. It's why extreme reach with combat reflexes isn't as crazy good of a build as it was in 3.5.


You won't ever be able to make multiple retaliatory strikes against the same enemy in a turn, so it wouldn't matter.

Benefit: While using this style, when an opponent makes an attack of opportunity against you for moving through a threatened square, you can spend a swift action to make a retaliatory unarmed strike attack against that opponent. Your attack is resolved after the triggering attack of opportunity.

You only provoke once per opponent per round for moving out of a threatened square.

Benefit: While using Panther Style, you can spend a free action, instead of spending a swift action, to make a retaliatory unarmed strike. You can make a number of retaliatory unarmed strikes on your turn equal to your Wisdom modifier.

This allows you to use your retaliatory strike against multiple opponents who make AoO against you when you leave any threatened squares during that turn, since you're no longer limited to your one swift action per round.

EDIT: More like Charon's Little Ninja


Ohhh, idk why that didn't come to mind, alright then, thanks for the clarification

I probably kind of rushed this post without really thinking about the wordings :P ah well
