Description:
The best defense against Maims and physical melee attacks, this ability allows the character to parry almost all extraordinary melee attack that they were not actually able to physically block or parry themselves. This ability is only useable if a melee weapon is in hand and against a melee attack that is delivered from in front of the character. The only attacks that cannot be parried with this ability are Fatal attacks, Massive attacks, Full Effect attacks, and Terror attacks. Additionally, unforeseen extraordinary melee attacks including but not limited to attacks from behind, attacks from invisible creatures, or the like cannot be parried via this ability. However, “normal” (as defined by the Weapon Parry ability) as well as Savage, Slay, and Maim attacks from an unforeseen attacker can be parried via a Parry Maim. The tagline “Parry Maim” should be announced when this ability is used and it cost 15 sp per use.
