blademaster riposte 'blade barrier'
Blademasters seek to end their fights quickly, by countering their opponents attacks and turning their momentum against them. Thriving in the thick of battle, a blademaster surrounded by opponents can be fearsome to behold. The riposte skill allows a blademaster to answer any attack made against them, successful or not, with a counter strike of their own (75% chance for attacks parried, 25% chance for all others). The blade barrier stance increases the chance of a counter strike by 25%, while at the same time greatly increasing the blademaster's ability to parry (+20% chance).
