You don't sound too sure about that.
Sorry. Take 2: Alertness is a barbarian class feature!
Although it was really the other way around. We gave barbarians the alertness skill after the fact to explain why they are so good at counter-striking. Review the description for counterstrike:
[Skills help] counterstrike
Automatic
Counterstrike is a measure of how alert a barbarian always is to any sort
of physical attack. When an opponent strikes the first blow, a barbarian is
nearly always able to turn most of the damage back onto the attacker, doing a
great deal of damage in some cases.
