In Reply to: Parry is important in defending oneself from other attacks... I believe this is one skill that a young magicain would concentrate while he is young(n/t) posted by Nobody on February 28, 2000 at 18:38:59:

But after the thrid or fourth level you going to start to work out ... hey if I put my sword into this position when this kobold stabs his dagger ... butta boom I don't get hit. Maybe if I pratice it a bit more I will start getting hit less. But guess what I don't have the coice some immortal up there won't let me pratice my parry. Okay fair enough at level one but I think at least by sixth level you should receive parry. Not some ungodly level like fourteen.

You can stick your sword there, but do you have the finesse and training to effectively parry an attack without getting disarmed or killed? Nah, you're too busy learning your spells and such to worry about your efforts in the realm of weapon use and self defense.
