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.
