PARRY
If at first you fail to dodge, block it. Parry is useful for deflecting attacks, but requires a weapon to function. Some weapons are more suitable for parrying than others, while some are harder to parry, and ranged weapons cannot be parried at all. See help weapon details for more information. Twohanded weapons are harder to parry unless the defender's weapon is also twohanded. Finally, parrying unarmed attacks deals damage to the attacker in addition to stopping their attack. The percent command will show your current chance to parry. The base formula is (10 + skill/4)%.
