Help Index :: :: Parry is a skill which allows you to block some of an enemy's attacks. It is most effective with a sword or other long weapon, though daggers and other short weapons or fists can be effective to a lesser extent. This is a passive skill, in that there is no need to type in any command for an attempt at parry. NOTE: This skill is not the same thing as the "parry" option. See help options for more information on the parry option.
