To clarify many of these questions, we would like to update the Riposting Strike skill as follows:
Current text:
Riposting Strike [Riposte] - 4 XP (Fighter, Rogue, or Scout), 30 XP in either Martial Skills or Rogue Skills (calculated separately) per purchase, Daily - the character may, once per Logistics period per purchase after using any Dodge, Parry, or Evade skill, immediately use any offensive per-day Martial or Stealth skill known and available without using a charge of that skill, ignoring any positioning requirement.

When using this swing, positioning requirements may be ignored. Any offensive skills or spells used from memory during this attack are not expended, but must have at least a single use available at the time of Riposting.
