PARRY

Warrior only.

If you succeed, you will have parried your opponents attack. This skill
will automatically be used during combat. You must have a weapon wielded
to be able to parry. The chance for your character to successfully parry
an attack is based on several factors, including:
- Your characters Strength stat
- Your characters Dexterity stat
- The difference in levels between your character and your
opponent
- Any equipment worn by your character with the parry SUCCESS stat
- The weapon type wielded by your character and your opponent

You will receive a modifier to your chance to parry an opponents attack
based on the weapon type your character is wielding. In general, 2-handed
weapons receive the largest bonus to your characters chance to parry an
attack, followed by 1-handed non-BSER weapons, followed by 1-handed weapons
with the BSER flag. Additional factors include:
- Your chance to parry attacks from a bare-handed opponent (not
wielding a weapon) are significantly reduced
- Weapons with the LONG flag give a small additional bonus to your
characters parry chance
- Offhanded weapons give a small additional bonus to your
characters parry chance

Your opponent will receive a penalty to parry your attacks based on the
weapon type your character is wielding. In general, 2-handed weapons grant
the largest penalty to your opponents chance to parry, followed by 1-handed
non-BSER weapons, followed by 1-handed weapons with the BSER flag. Additional
factors include:
- Your opponents chance to parry your bare-handed attacks (made
without a weapon) are significantly reduced.
- Weapons with the LONG flag give a small additional penalty to
your opponents parry chance
- Offhanded weapons give a small additional penalty to your
opponents parry chance
