Parry is a Voluntary Defense that may be used to negate any single Targeted attack using the Weapon or Poison qualifiers and any Radius Delivery Weapon attack affecting the user. You may Parry an attack that targets another person as long as the target is within physical reach of your weapon or shield. Parry may be used with any weapon or shield in which the wielder has the appropriate skill, except non-blocking weapons. You may not use a Parry if you do not have a weapon or shield free and in your hand. Any weapon which allows you to block with one hand may be used to Parry with only one hand on the weapon. You must say “Parry” when using this skill. If the Parry is used to negate an attack made against another person/ object you should also clearly indicate what attack the skill was used against.
