Tempus, just so you know: performing a parry in a round will count towards any melee/brawling attacks that are made against you, but there is nothing in the rules that says you can't eat the hit by choice, so I will not include the parry roll for the knife attack.

the reason i didnt want to parry the knife attack is i didnt want -d for the action
also i was wondering is a full parry the same as a full dodge in that it adds the difficulty to my manuever?

Yes you may do a full parry. I did, however, make a mistake. I was supposed to add +10 to the attacker's rolls to hit, so you do not get the bonus as described in the post. I am correcting that now.

Tempus, you do not have an axe, you have a vibroblade. I know the only real difference is the Max damage, but I figured that I should tell you so you don't think you should be doing more damage than you do.

why did i get a -D? i only did one action... as well shouldn't the difficulty be added to my parry since that was all that i was doing?

You performed 2 actions in that round, the first being taking the saber, and the second was parrying Rava's attack. You therefore get a -1D penalty to the parry, and cannot get a full reaction.

I also feel that I should point out that I have deviated from the rules in terms of the penalties. According to the rules, multiple actions cause a penalty to all rolls in a round, but I have opted to take the approach of cumulative penalties as you perform more actions. This reflects the fact that in combat you often will not have your fight planned several moves in advance. You may perform the first action without penalties, but any other actions get progressively more difficult.

i want to change the action to using Ka for cover
:oops:

In this case you will have to parry before attempting to use Ka for cover. The attack is already well under way, thus you cannot get the cover bonus until the next attack, and you do not have time to move to cover before being hit, unless you want to eat the hit this time and still hope you can use Ka for cover later.
You can parry and move to cover, but the cover bonus cannot come into play until the next attack.

after talking with shawn it was unclear to me the rules in attacking someone from behind. I am posting this with shawn's permission for clarity's sake... perhaps Ghost you could shed some light on this situation?

I dont have my book with me as Im in London so I couldn't say. I'll Pick Jon's brain about it and see if he knows more.

I had thought that a back attack would put the character on the defensive at a disadvantage, or give the attacking character an attack bonus. This is allowed in the rules, and I have already stated that I want the combat to be a bit more complex. I wanted other people's input before taking this into account, as it is player vs player.
