We've got a priest character who was asking about the combination of Full Defense and Riposte, basically if it would be possible to combine them, and if you did, how it would effect the bonuses.
Full Defense is +2 to avoid attacks, Riposte allows you to sacrifice your next action to turn a successful defense into an automatic attack.
The way he was wanting it to play, he'd declare a Full Defense, he'd get attacked, and he'd pick one of the attacks to turn into a riposte, and for the rest of the round he'd be exposed.
By the Rule of Cool, it makes sense to allow it, especially since the character was to have an aspect that prevented him from attacking normally. We are still working on the details, whether he'll be allowed to attack in circumstances other than defending, or not.
Any thoughts?
