Ability Name

Advanced Parrying

Description of Ability

So skilled are you within the realm of parrying stratagems, you have mastered the difficult art of parrying blows with only your weapon. While less effective than using a shield, this feat allows you to either keep a free hand open, or alternatively, use a two-handed weapon with more confidence. In addition to this newly acquired feat, you are also so efficient in using shields that when you succesfully parry a blow with a shield, you often times follow up with your own counter-attack. Allows for parrying with the use of only a weapon equipped when no shield is wielded. Chance to parry with a weapon is calculated as follows: One Handed Weapons (Stratagems: Parry / 800) = chance to parry, Two Handed Weapons (Stratagems: Parry / 700) = chance to parry. If Stratagems: Parry is above 100, a 1% bonus is applied to both of these checks. As with normal Parry behavior, if strength is below 80, a penalty will be applied to this chance. In addition, Advanced Parrying bestows a 25% chance that, on a successful parry or dodge, your character will automatically deliver a free Shield Check against said opponent (if you possess the ability).
