Offhand parry

Offhand Parry
Skill type: Skill
Skill subtype: Defensive
Primary user: Swordmaster
Requirements: offhand melee weapon
Syntax: Automatic

Unimpressed by the phalanx-shields of fighters, swordmasters have mastered the art of parrying with their secondary weapons. While slightly less effective than parry, this skill allows a dual-wielding swordmaster to defend with his offhand weapon; this skill is most effective against polearms, and least against daggers and whips.
