Parry Movement (p46)

Mon 25 Mar 2024, 14:29

"When successfully parrying an attack, you can move both yourself and the enemy 2m (one square) in any direction..."

Do both move the same direction i.e. remain in melee contact, or can they move apart etc?

My interpretation is that both move the same. (E.g. you stay locked in melee combat.)

They can move in whatever direction the parrying character wants to. It is a way for the parrying character to push an opponent away from you and for you to get a chance to get away or just to have the opponent being engaged with another character.

Aha - so if I understand you correctly they can both move in different directions. If so that's good. Thanks.

Technically, Parry needs to be a bit better than Dodge because Parry comes with a risk (you can break your parrying weapon). Also a bit cinematic, you shove your opponent away from you while you then step in a different direction.

Plus dodge is useful against more monster attacks. And ranged weapons.
