Dreadforge Retaliator

This fearsome weapon is a huge, serrated axe with cruel-looking spikes jutting out from the top and back of the blade. Originally designed for orc champions, weapons of this sort have recently been found in the hands of tauren heroes, as well as members of the Burning Legion. Powers: A dreadforge retaliator is a +3 greataxe of instinct that contains the spirit of a wild beast. Whenever its wielder is struck by a critical hit in melee, the spirit of the beast reacts with a furious counterattack. The wielder acts on behalf of this spirit, striking the attacker immediately at his base attack bonus. This counterattack is not considered an attack of opportunity, but it must be made with the dreadforge retaliator, not another weapon or special ability. The weapon's owner may not make a counterattack if the original blow makes him unable to do so (by killing him or stunning him, for example), or if the attacker is out of reach. If the wielder is disabled when he makes the counterattack, it counts as a strenuous action.
