PARRY [SKILL PASSIVE]

Type: Combat

Description:
 This skill increases your ability to parry enemy blows. Even without this
 skill you will be able to parry, but practicing this skill will give you 
 a much better parry.

 Parry is a passive skill, which means you do not need to type any command
 for it to work (i.e. it is always active...)

 Parry is affected by things like your position and style. Only while standing
 or fighting will your parry bonus be exploited fully. Resting, Sleeping or
 being Stunned will all decrease your parrying ability more or less. Your style
 also affects your dodge. The more defensive styles will increase your parry,
 while the offensive styles will decrease it.

 Some equipment might also affect your parry, both positively and negatively.
 Armour for instance, might make it harder for you to move efficiently, and
 thus decrease your parry. While a shield might aid you in stopping the 
 enemies attacks, and thus increase your parry. Weapons might also affect
 your parrying.

 The higher the proficiency level of the parry skill, the more bonus the skill
 will add to your original parry.
