Riposte

Strike back after this Character is melee struck.

Automated in The War Room

How it works

Full rule

Limited React: After a target Character performs a melee strike against this Character, make a DC 20 Riposte check. On success, perform a melee strike against that target; this strike cannot be redirected.

At the table

Example

After the attacker’s melee strike resolves, pass Riposte and make a melee strike back at that attacker even if normal distance has changed.

Watch for this

Common mistake

Riposte reacts to the performed melee strike, not only to a hit, and its return strike cannot be redirected.
