*note: no idea if a high enhanced parry mysteriously gets around this restriction partially or fully, but for normal parry 1 trip and you are generally done riposting for the duration.

I would have thought if you had a high enough impairment counter check(Agility vs Dexterity for Trip, not sure about Bash, Strength vs Strength?), you would be able to bypass it. Might not help as much vs a Barbarian or Valkyrie though(Savage Assault/Heroine's Charge being semi-random auto-attacks that produce Bash without the added bonuses). A bit funny that one, Valkyries' capstone ability being about the same mechanically as a level ~80 Barbarian's.

Yeah, its whatever it takes to break/bypass the impairment and use any skill. Was just noting that it is possible to stop the skill after the fact.
