- Parry now gives the equivalent of the AC bonus as one gets from Tumble, but the two do not stack. The higher of the Tumble or Parry AC bonus is what is used to the final AC. (+1 every five hard ranks in the skill)
- When in Parry mode, double 1.5 rounded down the AC is applied to the PC of what the original AC bonus from Parry was. (30 ranks = 6 AC, PC will get 12 9 AC total from Parry when in Parry mode)
This would reduce the 'need' to dip into a class with Tumble to be an effective tank for that extra AC that is known to be a notorious reason people dip into Rogue, Bard, or Monk for. This allows for more classes to have that availability (and even more) at the cost of having to stay in the Parry mode, which is known for being less than useful currently.
