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.

Hardcoded, sorry.

What about a damage bonus to a character entering Parry Combat Mode? =p

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.
