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:
A mage does not spend time on weapons period. If she did then she would be an average mage with average weapons skills. The largest weapon a mage would carry is a fancy little sticker. Not a dirk large enough to parry attacks in the first place. For realisms sake, it might look better if a mage had a spell that was automatic like parry called "deflect weapon" that would be cast with a simple hand movement. Too much additional coding perhaps. But when I see a mage "parry" that is I what I am envisioning.
