when you and your opponent choose your

choose his combination first and then reveal

Your PARRY follows the normal rules
and counts as one of your actions in the

RANK 2: When you PARRY, you can

PARRY against your actions in the round,
making it “free.” You can do this several
times in a round, as long as you have WP
to spend.
RANK 3: When you PARRY successfully,
you can decrease damage further by
spending WP. Every point you spend
decreases damage by 1. You must state
how many WP you use before you roll for
armor.
