Swashbuckler rule question

[Rayek]

If i somehow provoke an AoO from an enemy, can I parry it via OPaR?
It specifies "when an opponent attempts a melee attack against the swashbuckler", so does an AoO count?

Thanks in Advance,
Rayek

Yes.

[James Risner]

I'd say so.

[Azara Emberkin]

Yup.

Just have a swashbuckler fight a barbarian with the "Come and get me" rage power. Shenanigans ensue!

[Rayek]

Thanks for the replies ;)

That wouldnt end well for the barbarian^^

Swa attacks
Barb get AoO
AoO gets parried
Barb gets AoO
etc
^^

PS: And the best thing:
The swashbuckler would parry before attacking, since Come and Get me is resolved prior to the Attack and Opportune Parry and Riposte is resolved before that^^

Except now the barbarian gets an AoO from the swashbuckler's AoO.

And the swashbuckler can parry and riposte that.

Which provokes an AoO from the barbarian.

Hue.

However, don't forget that the swashbuckler can only make one riposte per round, as this is an immediate action.

Yeah, people not remembering/enforcing this is often the cause of people going "OMG Swash too OP!"
