I suspect he was referring to the Sacrifice Throw, from page 78.

Telegraphic Attack was something of a death knell to All Out Attack, yeah. Combat Posture from my blog stemmed from an attempt to make All Out Attack a better option at higher skill levels, but the Telegraphic Attack imbalance still makes it a pretty darn risky move. An option to potentially resolve it would be to double the bonus for All Out Attack, letting you "cash in" the +2 to defenses you'd normally be getting for foes using Telegraphic Attack on you for a further bonus (in the Combat Posture system, this is +4 MP). Personally, I'd be tempted to to with only +2 MP (+2 to hit, or +1 to damage), as you're pre-emptively using a bonus that you might not even get (if nobody attacks you, which is the ideal situation if you use All Out Attack).
