Arelith

Description of Bug Experienced:
Parry disregards the last flurry if the opponent is dualwielding and has six attacks.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Have a dualwielder attack a character in parry-mode

Expected Result:
The character should try to parry an attack on each flurry.

Actual Result:
It only tries to parry on the first and second flurry.

Additional Information/Notes
We tried different combinations - and parry works if at least one of the attacks in the third flurry are with the main hand.

This is not an arelith specific bug, but a limitation within NWN. Your character can only parry a total of 3 flurries per round, and no more than that.

Does not explain why it does none on the third flurry (the off-hand attacks)

I believe that off-hand attacks are placed in the first flurry if possible:

Fighting with two weapons can be particularly helpful to characters with sneak attacks, as the off-hand attacks may put an additional attack in the first flurry in a round, which may in turn result in significantly more sneak attacks, particularly when only the attacks in the first flurry are sneak attacks.

But this was the only relevant passage I could find on the wiki for it. So in other words, unless someone already has enough attacks for 3 flurries, their offhand attacks will not create a third flurry for them, meaning parry will only get 2 attempts to parry.

So, yes part of the base NWN engine. It might be theoretically possible to fix now with HAK's but that's well beyond my knowledge of what is possible or not.

All main hand attacks come first - in this instance 4 = flurry 1 and flurry 2.

Then comes off-hand - in this instance 2 = flurry 3.

Parry works for flurry 1 and 2, but not 3 - which is why I think Parry is not considering off-hand attacks.

If I use one weapon with four attacks - Parry works for all three flurries (as expected).
