Couple of possible causes:
First is that you went into Parry Mode. Usually the char then just stands and avoids as many attacks as it can, and does not attack back. It's not a rule though as such - if there is the chance for the Attack of Opportunity, your char would go into Parry/Riposte mode - meaning that he would be still in Parry Mode and not attack, but he would Riposte after successful Parry. However, sometimes you just don't get the Attack of Opportunity [img]smile.gif[/img]
Second thing can be that for some reason, your char lost the enemy from his sight. Sounds stupid, as the target is there, but it's one of those 3D graphical thingies heheh.. Anyway, sometimes - in my case always - it was fixed by simply moving char a bit and ordering him to attack again, and then he was back to normal.
