The Counter action allows a character to take advantage of his attacker's failures and set up an opportunity to reverse them.
If a character is attacked by the opponent he is facing and the attack value falls below the defender's AC + Counter Bonus, the defender may choose to counter the attack as an immediate Action of Opportunity.
To counter an attack, both the original attacker and the counterer roll a Counter Check. The character with the higher check wins.
- Counter Check: 1d20 + Dexterity + BAB + Counter Bonus
If the defender's Counter Check result meets or exceeds the attacker's Counter Check result, the attacker is rendered Flat-footed and Open for a single Combative Action from the defender.
- If the original attack's value is above the defender's AC but below the defender's AC + Counter Bonus and the defender fails the counter check, the original attack hits.
- A character cannot counter an attack that he receives due to him being Open.
