All in the title!

Of course the weapon damaged can't be used, so I would rule you can't do the counterattack. But I think for a dragon I would allow it and after that the weapon can't be used anymore.

It's very simple. If you roll a dragon, your opponent immediately takes a damage roll from your weapon. You can narrate this however you wish, but the rule that parrying breaks the initiative order and the "immediately" part of the phrasing on rolling a dragon leads me to the conclusion that the mechanical timing means the opponent takes damage before they roll damage themselves. Whether the enemy is still up after the counterattack may also factor into your adjudication of whether they successfully damage your weapon.

I would probably rule that a Dragon roll would mean a "perfect" deflection followed up by a counter attack.
In this case the weapon does not "take" any damage.

I think this is in line with the Epic feel, it does not really break any balance.

(A Dragon parray on a Dragon attack is as written just a normal parray)
