Countering (Melee Weapon Magic Property)
Countering (Melee Weapon Magic Property)
A countering weapon gives its wielder a +2 bonus to their Maneuver Defense against combat maneuvers made to disarm or sunder this weapon. If the attempt fails, the wielder can, as an immediate action, attempt the same maneuver against the opponent without provoking attacks of opportunity.
The wielder never risks dropping their weapon with a failed disarm combat maneuver when counterattacking in this manner. This ability can be used even if the attacker is not within the wielder's reach.
Special: Once per encounter as an immediate action, while you are wielding a Countering weapon, you may make an attack with that weapon against a foe who just hit you with a melee attack, assuming they are within your reach. This attack is made at your full normal BAB.
