Default AN damage

Do AN melee attacks (gate cleaver, dusk dagger) effectively ignore the shield parry bonus?

Wait...

Does that mean a D9 bless makes the unit wielding the +2 AN damage weapon gets to ignore the opponent's shield parry?

When a shield parry happens, it doesn't deflect all damage, just adds to the defender's armor. So, if a death bless weapon is stopped by a shield, the weapon's regular damage will have a much tougher armor roll to make, but the death bless damage/effects will happen as usual.

Oh, so only the 2 points would go through? And only if they fail their MR check? Boo, death bless still sucks.

Death bless does not suck. it has its uses. It won;t help much in early expansion, but aginst SC's death bless is a better one to have then a fire bless. Not to mention it makes evocation spells that much more deadly.
