PARRY

[:: Legends Of The Jedi ::]

Parry, the skill itself, is a skill used by jedi to deflect blaster
shots, either back at the person firing or at the ground.

`Parrying` is automatic, if you have a melee weapon equiped. The type
of parrying done WITHOUT a saber is called a `melee parry`. Melee
parrying is different in that it only parries other melee weapons. If
you try to parry the slice of a saber and you don't have a cortosis
weapon, you may find your weapon destroyed by the attack. Regardless,
your character will AUTOMATICALLY attempt to parry, and it is not based
on the PARRY skill.

Percentage for melee parrying is based on the three weapon proficiency
skill ratings for the weapon type. For Example: vibro-blades will use
vibro-blades, advanced vibroblade and vibroblade mastery to generate
the chance to parry, and the chance to counter-attack.

Your best bet is to try to get as many of those three proficiency
types per melee weapon as high as possible if you want the best chance
to parry.
