Description:
Often being trained in combat pays off; this ability allows a character to parry an immediate melee attack and then immediately counterattack after the parry while calling x2 damage. Confusing? Maybe, let’s look at an example: A character is attacked via melee and hit. They immediately announce “Parry, Riposte” to the attack; they must make a counter attack in which their damage is x2 (it is the character’s responsibility to calculate the damage in their counter attack). The player must still actually make the counter attack (in other words, successfully hit the opponent), which could be in turn blocked or parried, in which SP are still expended. Additionally, this ability can only be used against attacks that could be normally parried via the Weapon Parry ability. Use of this skill costs 12sp.
