So you can say "Ok, she's aiming at my arm, that means relatively low damage potential if she hits, I can afford to risk taking -4 on Riposte".

We've always rolled hit location after the defense in my group, but I suppose it makes sense the other way around, and would help a great deal with risk assessment ^^ Do people usually roll hit location first?
