(Style, Combat)
You can deflect incoming attacks.
Prerequisites
Deft Maneuvers,
Swordplay Style,
Swordplay Upset,
Weapon Focus with the chosen weapon, base attack bonus +7.
Benefit
While using
Swordplay Style, when you make one or more melee attacks, you can forgo a single
Melee Attack to prepare an action to disrupt an opponent's attack. This functions as a swashbuckler's opportune parry and riposte deed, except that if your result is greater than your opponent's, you gain a +4
Shield Bonus to your Armor Class against attacks made by your opponent until the start of your next turn instead of preventing the hit, and you cannot attempt to riposte. If you have the opportune parry and riposte deed, you gain this Armor Class bonus anytime you successfully parry an opponent's attack.
