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. |
