Reflexive Brace and Fortuitous Weapon

[Trish Megistos]

Reflexive Brace allows you to make an Attack of Opportunity while doing double damage against a charging opponent. Let's say an elven branched spear, because it also gives +2 to AoO. I'll assume that this brace attack still qualifies as an AoO.

A fortuitous weapon grants another AoO (-5, -3 with an Elven Branched Spear) if you hit with an AoO.
Does this second attack also do double damage against the charging opponent?

As this is third party getting any sort of official response may be limited.

However. It says ot s an immediate action to brace. Not to make an attack as if it's braced. So I think yes.

[Trish Megistos]

Oh right, didn't even notice it wasn't 1pp.

Let me shorty recap how I understand that brace works.

You ready an action to brace a weapon against a (specific?) charging enemy. When that enemy charges you, you get an attack against that enemy at double damage. If no one charges you, nothing happens.
If someone just walks up to you, you get your AoO but that action to set up the brace never comes into place. Or can you use that readied action to also attack someone that walks into your threatened area for a regular attack?

Or is brace just really bad? With reflexive brace it's pretty awesome though, maybe too good even.

Latest FAQ request on the Brace property.

I've gotten several different rulings from different GMs.
-Some say readying to attack is sufficient, and if it's a charge you get free 2x damage
-Some say it must be specifically readied against a charge, and they could just walk up without triggering it
-Some say you must be the one getting charged, while others say it works on any charge in your threatened area

[Trish Megistos]

Well, I guess to make it not completely useless I'll allow the readied brace action to be an attack and also against charges in your threatened area.

Thanks for the clarifications.

I see nothing that says you have to target one person. Just that you set it against charges.

So brace works for any charge on you.

It's basically saying "I'm readying an action to attack someone in range " but does double damage with the trade off that it's only allowed vs charges.
