Talk:Parry Shot

Bahumat says: Ignoring the flavor text for a minute here, there's some ambiguity to the mechanics of this special that are unclear, in system terms:

As read, this power seems to indicate that it provides an additional Parry roll against incoming ranged or melee attacks. If this is the case, this effectively doubles an individual's defensive abilities against non-magical combat.

Balancing considerations:

Can ranged weapon users parry incoming melee anyway? Can ranged weapon users parry incoming ranged anyway? Can melee weapon users parry incoming ranged without this power? What effect does 'stacking' this defense option have in playtested combat? Can this power be used to protect others, too? If so, under what rolls and skills? If not, why not?
