Parry works great and I'm doing dodge now. As far as a suggestion, I would say let them parry as much and as often as they want, (well, probably every other round or something). If you allow them to continue to parry during the fight it would mean (as I have come to understand it) they would be parrying more than hitting and the fight would last longer and longer. Basically until they either decide to stop and just hit, or run away. Or, if I have totally missed the point of parrying, and they do get hit.. The scenario works better. Eventually they will either have to fight, or run. Hope this help just a smidgen. -Rad|X
