http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/barbed-platemail-ouch-interaction.7703/page-3 As it was stated in this topic, Ready To Strike indeed does melee damage, but Barbed Platemail does not return damage to the attacker. I also noticed it does not return damage from charges. At least, not for Rumbling Charge and Mighty Charge
