Calculated Counterattack Predictable Tactics

Counter

Level:Open Tome 6
Prerequisites:Two Open Tome techniques
Action:1 immediate action
Range:Personal
Target:You; adjacent attacking creature

Your research into the typical attacks of the standardized model of particular enemy demographics has given you a series of planned responses to potential hazards when facing them in combat.

You can initiate this counter in response to a melee or ranged attack (including touch or ranged touch spell attacks) being made against you by an identified creature. Make an Academics check opposed by your opponent’s attack roll; if successful, the attack is negated, and you may immediately make an attack of opportunity against that creature (assuming you have available attacks of opportunity remaining). This attack of opportunity gains a +4 insight bonus on the attack roll.
