Redirect attack rogue talent against original attacker?

[thelemonache]

I feel like the original attacker qualifies, no?

Redirect Attack (Ex)
Prerequisite: Advanced talents

Benefit: Once per day, when a rogue with this talent is hit with a melee attack, she can redirect the attack to strike at an adjacent creature with a free action. The creature targeted must be within melee reach of the attack that hit the rogue, and the creature that made the attack against the rogue must make a new attack roll against the new target.

I would say yes, unless they're using Reach or something and are thus not 'an adjacent creature'.

[Azothath]

there are requirements in the reposting of the Advanced Rogue Talent at Rogue 10th+ Level that have not been addressed making it unclear. The talent description has poor grammar.

The target of the redirected 'new' attack is addressed in the second line of the linked Talent.
The first line has noun confusion which the second line clarifies. Adjacent means next to and the creature being talked about after the comma is the attacker. So it would seem the attacker is not a valid target.

IF the first line is only about the Rogue, then the number of targets is reduced to co-adjacent squares (squares adjacent to the rogue within melee reach of the attacker).
