Time Required: Reaction
Trigger: Varies
Skill: Varies
Requires: You have a melee weapon in hand or a free hand, you are not 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;
• Casting a Spell other than a touch spell when adjacent to a foe;
• Making a Ranged Attack while adjacent to a foe;
• Standing up from Prone while adjacent to a foe.

A Counterattack may be made as a melee basic attack or an unarmed basic attack.
