So I had an idea for a feat and ws wondering if it is balanced.
sword catch (level 12 fighter, reaction)
Required: you have a free hands
Trigger: any enemy critically fails an attack with a melee weapon against you
Effect: you wrest the weapon out of your enemies hand and can equip it as a free action if you have enough hands to wield it

It seems an overpowered version of the swashbuckler
Opportune Riposte
You take advantage of an opening from your enemy's fumbled attack. You either make a melee Strike against the triggering foe or attempt to Disarm it of the weapon it used for the Strike.
- It doesn't require any skill ( you could be legendary athletics or untrained ).
- It doesn't require a check ( it's automatic, while opportune riposte requires a "critical success", because of how disarm works ).
- Allows the user to also grab the weapon ( action given for free, probably making useless the enemy which was using it ).
I'd say it's way better ( and balanced ) for the fighter to take the swashbuckler dedication and the opportune riposte feat.
