Quite reasonable, good for counter-builds. Now you have to pick from being able to take advantage of opportunities, or tactical counters.

Breaks the action economy. There are a few ways to counterspell with immediate actions. This gives you tons of them, which isn't very good for the system as a whole.

Special part makes no sense.

Plus, the bonus to AC doesn't do anything.

All in all, should be Very High on the balance rating.


Oof

You can get that number of attacks of opportunity arbitrarily high, even infinite with the application of certain things. But even without going infinite this is a bad idea. It could work if it was "spend AoO, gain 1 (and only one) extra immediate" and I would argue it would be "spend all your AoOs" so that the tradeoff of a very useful counter ability is you can no longer counter on provocations. Do that, slap it at Very High (because it would still be) and that seems like a pretty good feat. As is though... -- Eiji-kun (talk) 22:54, 21 August 2019 (MDT)

Honestly, the only way I might be okay with this giving even one extra immediate is if it required all AoOs and the prereqs were higher. It would still be VH, but there's a really pretty good PrC that gives an extra swift/immediate as its capstone. --Undead_Knave (talk) 23:00, 21 August 2019 (MDT)
