Any one-handed weapon or shield can only parry one attack during a round. However, a shield or weapon used alone can be used to parry twice because the user can concentrate on the single weapon’s use.. |

* '''Special Attack''' -- If there is a Special with a weapon (a roll of 20 for a skill of 0-9, or 19 or 20 for a skill of 10 or greater) and the weapon cannot impale, the weapon does maximum normal damage (100% against SP and 50% against HP) less any armor the target is wearing. If the weapon can impale, 100% of the rolled damage is taken against both Hit Points and Stun Points (less any armor), and the weapon is stuck in the target's body. It takes a check against STx2 (for the attacker) or STx1 (for the target) to remove the weapon. However, for each round the weapon is impaled the target takes normal rolled damage (100% against SP and 50% against HP) with no additional attack rolls necessary and no effect from armor. This extra damage can be avoided by holding very still and not moving. This is unlikely on a battlefield, but a character impaled and then left for dead might be able to manage it. | * '''Special Attack''' -- If there is a Special with a weapon (a roll of 20 for a skill of 0-9, or 19 or 20 for a skill of 10 or greater) and the weapon cannot impale, the weapon does maximum normal damage (100% against SP and 50% against HP) less any armor the target is wearing.
