Since there were two Parry suggestions recently accepted that would make Parry even stronger (damage reduction per 10 ranks and AB penalty to opponent after riposte), I would suggest to allow Taunt as a counter to Parry.

A successful taunt would reduce the parry skill of the opponent.

How much can be still discussed, but it could be equal to the difference between the Taunt roll and the defender's concentration roll to a max of a -10 penalty for 3 rounds. Or maybe no cap (full difference) but just for one round. This should give additional options to prevent players sitting in parry all the time.

And this suggestion comes from a heavy Parry user.

I think this is a good suggestion, tauting a player would likely get them too riled to parry effectively.

Approved.
