Default Re: What does the Parry Skill Do?

When someone rolls to hit you, if they beat your Defense but NOT your Defense + Parry, then the Prot of your shield is added to your base Prot, which is nice, but not the point.

The Parry of your shield *also* determines how likely it is to deflect an arrow - and this works regardless of your Prot, which is what shields are really for.

Default Re: What does the Parry Skill Do?

when you say added, you dont mean straight up added, do you?

like, if the unit has armor making prot 15, and a shield for prot 15.

if the hit is above def, but below def+parry, is the effective prot 30, or something between 15 and 30?

i remember hearing that prot of different armors didnt add "nicely"
