====== Counterattack ======

**Type**:  Reaction\\
**Trigger**: Varies.\\
**Skill Check**:  Brawling or Melee\\
**Requires**:  You have a melee weapon in hand or a free hand, you are not [[nexusframe:conditions:Prone]], and you are adjacent to the provoking foe.

When a foe makes a tactical blunder, you can exploit the opening they leave.  A Counterattack can be provoked by many actions, but at the very least, the following typically provoke a Counterattack:
  * Attempting to leave a square adjacent to a foe;
  * Making a Ranged Attack while adjacent to a foe;
  * Standing up from Prone while adjacent to a foe.

When you make a Counterattack, you may attempt to [[nexusframe:actions:Pummel]] or [[nexusframe:actions:Strike]] the provoking foe.
