## Karmic Strike *You have learned to strike when your opponent is most vulnerable the same instant your opponent strikes you.* **Prerequisite:** Dex 13, [[Combat Expertise]], [[Dodge]] **Benefit:** You can choose to take a –4 penalty to your AC and CMD to gain the ability to make an attack of opportunity against creatures who hit you with a melee attack. You cannot make an attack of opportunity against creatures you do not threaten. Unlike most attacks of opportunity, this feat resolves after the attack that provoked it. You can only choose to use this feat when you declare that you are making an attack or a full-attack action with a melee weapon, or using the total defense action. The penalty to AC persists until the start of your next turn.
