Quite reasonable, good for counter-builds. Now you have to pick from being able to take advantage of opportunities, or tactical counters.

Breaks the action economy. There are a few ways to counterspell with immediate actions. This gives you tons of them, which isn't very good for the system as a whole.

Special part makes no sense.

Plus, the bonus to AC doesn't do anything.

All in all, should be Very High on the balance rating.


Oof[edit]

You can get that number of attacks of opportunity arbitrarily high, even infinite with the application of certain things. But even without going infinite this is a bad idea. It could work if it was "spend AoO, gain 1 (and only one) extra immediate" and I would argue it would be "spend all your AoOs" so that the tradeoff of a very useful counter ability is you can no longer counter on provocations. Do that, slap it at Very High (because it would still be) and that seems like a pretty good feat. As is though... -- Eiji-kun (talk) 22:54, 21 August 2019 (MDT)

Honestly, the only way I might be okay with this giving even one extra immediate is if it required all AoOs and the prereqs were higher. It would still be VH, but there's a really pretty good PrC that gives an extra swift/immediate as its capstone. --Undead_Knave (talk) 23:00, 21 August 2019 (MDT)
