Counter Attack [General]
Iyrick quickly stuck back, after dodging the troll's attack, before it could get ready to defend itself.

You can make an Attack of Opportunity against a foe who has just successfully hit you in melee combat.

Prerequisites: Prerequisites: Dex 17, Int 13, Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Proficiency with weapon, Weapon Focus with weapon, Base attack +6

Benefit: When an opponent successfully strikes you in melee combat, you may use one of your Attacks of Opportunity (at your highest Base Attack Bonus) to immediatly make a melee attack against that opponent. This attack counts against the number of Attacks of Opportunity you can make in a round. Your attack of opportunity suffers a -1 Attack Penalty per two points of damage you sustained from the attack that initiated your Counter. If this penalty equals or exceeds your Base Attack Bonus, you cannot make a Counter.

Normal: You cannot make Attacks of Opportunity in response to melee attacks.

Special: A Fighter may select Counter as a Fighter Bonus Feat. You can only make one Attack of Opportunity against each opponent who hits you in melee combat per round, regardless of how many attacks (such as those gained from wielding two weapons) or attacks of opportunity you have (such as additional one from the Combat Reflexes Feat). You may not use any range weapon using Counter.
