The dualist may take these feats as normal, so long as she qualifies for at least one of the sets of requirements. Regardless of how they are gained, the dualist gains the extra benefits so long as the chosen weapon is a one-handed melee weapon. | The dualist may take these feats as normal, so long as she qualifies for at least one of the sets of requirements.

She may not make the attack of opportunity with the same weapon that triggered the attack of opportunity (though she may use a weapon that she parried with if her counter-attack successfully deals damage). A dualist may alternate weapons in this way, taking an additional −5 penalty on each attack, until she either fails to deal damage or runs out of attacks of opportunity for the round. |
If the target of her attacks is required to make a Concentration check (or similar) against the damage the Dualist dealt (e.g., to prevent spell failure), he only needs to make a single check, using the single highest amount of damage in the sequence for determining the DC of the check, rather than a whole series of checks. | If the target of her attacks is required to make a Concentration check (or similar) against the damage the Dualist dealt (e.g., to prevent spell failure), he only needs to make a single check, using the single highest amount of damage in the sequence for determining the DC of the check, rather than a whole series of checks. | ||

For example, if she takes an attack of opportunity at +14 attack bonus, she may attack with the opposite weapon at a +9 bonus without expending another attack of opportunity. To attack again with the first weapon at a +4 attack bonus, she must then expend another attack of opportunity. In addition, as long as one of the two strikes deal damage, she may continue, even if the other misses. |

She may parry against any melee attack directed at a target in any square within her threatened area, though she takes a −4 penalty on this roll. If she succeeds, she may counter-attack only if the attacker is within her reach. |
