just thought that could it be possible to code parry for both arms(all arms as
barso)? like if you put all arms (parry left 51,parry right 51) the effect
would be the same as today, but one would be able to use other hand with no
parry minuses and other with maxed parry.. just mumbling here something,but
this idea passed through my mind some time ago...

I dont agree, if you're in a fight and you set your mind to being 'defensive'
you cant choose what arms to be defensive with or not, its your whole 'battle
attitude' that mirrors the parry value imho.

i think davian idea has some good merit perhaps make it a mastery skill that
you have to train.. using 2 arm to do some thing diffrent at the same time is
not easy.

In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, theyre not.

Would that not just accomplish the addition of flavor? How would right parry
51, left parry 0 be different then say, parry 25/26? It seems of course that
if you elect to parry with only one arm then your effectiveness would be
drastically reduced to a level below that of parry 25/26, but what do i know?
