april fools?--ParakeeTalk 21:27, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I have to concur. Making AOOs when dead is definite 'WTF, April Fools much?' territory to me. - MisterSinister 04:13, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Not that you would make AoO when you are dead. Feats don't work when dead. --Havvy 04:56, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Montezuma would disagree...--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 05:23, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Actually, a cabal of level 1 cultists with this feat could make for an entertaining encounter. The more you kill, the harder it gets to do stuff in the room. --Aarnott 19:12, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
I cremate the guy. His ashes attack me for 1d6 points of damage? That doesn't make senses. A dead person has zero strength. Can't move. The paralyzed guy can attack me? So is it or is it not paralyzed? You just described an entirely different thing, the ability to become a weird breed of immortal undead when killed. April Fools this or delete it. It doesn't make any sense. --ParakeeTalk 23:20, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
The bound guy breaks his ropes and attacks you without a check?--ParakeeTalk 23:23, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Dude, Montezuma is still giving people the shits for visiting his homeland. Ancient curses and final acts of badassery are staples of legend and fantasy. I like how this feat can enable those things that make heroic fantasy heroic.--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 01:08, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Except that such a legend is not what this feat entails. It's merely that you still threaten the squares around you. Also, physics breaks down as Parakee says. --Havvy 05:00, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Here's a way to fix it. "If you are helpless, including dead, your spirit lashes out threatening with its spooky death. You make AoOs. If you are dead or have 0 str you make incorporeal touch attacks. You can only stop threatening by completely destroying the body, or after it fades in 24 hours." -- Eiji-kun 05:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Drat! That ruins my "come back as ghost and be killed by own corpse" scenario...--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 05:19, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Just make it dead. I don't want any tied up creatures attacking me. I could tie myself up just for the touch attacks.--ParakeeTalk 12:27, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
You'd need 0 Str, and they'd need to provoke. I dont' see that as a winning strategy for 1d6 incorporeal damage. -- Eiji-kun 19:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Still. Bound by amadatie ropes? Who cares? Break them and attack your enemy anyway? What the hell?--ParakeeTalk 21:51, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
/Necropost.
What if it were changed so that it were only situations without physical barriers to the attack, e.g. being bound, being on the other side of a wall, being forcefully repelled from the opponent? I think it would make sense that obstacles to normal attacks, barring what are seen as status effects, would still prevent you from making an AoO under this feat. --Maninorange (talk) 23:51, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
