|name=Reactive Combat Maneuver 
|types=Fighter, Monk
|summary=When you [[Reactive Parry (3.5e Feat) | Parry]] an attack and make your [[Reactive Riposte (3.5e Feat) | counterattack]], you can choose to perform a special attack on the opponent instead.
|prereqs= [[SRD:Combat Expertise | Combat Expertise]], BAB +6, at least one of: [[SRD:Improved Grapple | Improved Grapple]]/[[SRD:Improved Trip |Trip]]/[[SRD:Improved Disarm |Disarm]]/[[SRD:Improved Bull Rush |Bull Rush]]/[[SRD:Improved Sunder |Sunder]]
|fluff=The master deftly blocked his student's blow with his staff, and swept his student's feet from under him in one smooth motion. "You have much to learn."
|benefit=When you make an attack of opportunity, if the attack hits, you can choose to immediately attempt a Grapple, Trip, Disarm, Sunder or Bull Rush as part of that attack. When you trip or disarm in this manner, if your attempt fails, your target can't attempt to trip or disarm you; And when you bull rush with this way, you do not move with your target. This feat can be very deadly when combined with [[Reactive Riposte (3.5e Feat) | Reactive Riposte]].

However, in order to use one of these combat maneuvers with this feat, you must possess the matching [[SRD:Improved Grapple | Improved Grapple]]/[[SRD:Improved Trip |Trip]]/[[SRD:Improved Disarm |Disarm]]/[[SRD:Improved Bull Rush |Bull Rush]]/[[SRD:Improved Sunder |Sunder]] for that maneuver; Thus, if you want to Sunder as an AoO, you need Improved Sunder to do so. This makes the [[Improved Combat Maneuver - Project Atrea Variant (3.5e Feat) | Improved Combat Maneuver]] feat very useful for this specific application, though if you intend to specialize in a particular combat maneuver instead of having them all available, the specific feat is still better.
|example=<!-- If your feat has a complicated mechanic, give an example of how it works. -->
|normal=
|special= A Fighter may take Reactive Combat Maneuver as one of their Fighter bonus feats. A Monk may take this feat as their bonus feat at 2nd or 6th level, even if they do no meet the prerequisites.
