Parry

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Parry

Give successful parry counterattacks (where you successfully parry an enemy attack, gain a riposte attack and actually hit the enemy) a stun property vs fortitude for 1 round with a dc equal to parry skill /2.

A work around would be a craftable weapon that has a high parry requirement. Which when you have you'd get other goodies from the weapon.

Parrying weapons !
Rapier:
+2-3 Ab
+4-6 parry
Stun on hit
Parrying dagger:
+2-3 AC
+4-6 parry

...how did nobody think of this before? Parry requirement for items would be lovely amazing, not with those stats but the idea itself.

Wouldn't items with a parry requirement also be available to people like UMD?

No, because there is no actual skill requirement property, it would be a script.

Seeing parry is a defensive skill, what if it were scripted to apply a temporary dodge AC buff when entering the mode, and canceling it when exiting, say +1 per 5 ranks in parry? It would make it feel more useful as a defensive skill.
