Quick Retrieval (Combat)

You can quickly snatch up dropped weapons and parry an attack of opportunity made against you.

Prerequisite(s): Dex 15, Quick Draw, duelist 4

Benefit: You only need to use a swift action to pick up a light or one-handed piercing weapon that is not on your person, such as after you have been disarmed or when you are caught unprepared for combat. You still provoke attacks of opportunity when you do so, but you can choose to attempt to parry one attack of opportunity made against you whenever you pick up a weapon in this way. This counts as one of your own attacks of opportunity for the round.

Normal: Normally picking up a weapon is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity and you cannot parry these attacks.
