theclash24 137 Posted March 12, 2015 why isn't this called Riposte or Counter. The description is describing a Riposte or a Counter. 1 Josep Maria reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greymere 125 Posted March 12, 2015 FFG settled on using the terms Improved and Supreme likely is why 4 DarthGM, Tear44, Ghostofman and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanal 2,557 Posted March 13, 2015 What is the benefit? I fence and while I think it should be riposte rather than parry I don't see it mattering all that much. Thematically and narratively my duel could consist of a whole mess of parrying and riposting. And if I am describing my duel to a fencer I can be pretty descriptive in the process. To be able to use the term Passata-sotto and not have the person need to look it up would be fun. "Counter" is not a specific fencing term, it could be a counter-attack, counter-riposte, counter-time, counter-parry or a counter-disengagement. 3 Dario94, whafrog and Tear44 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donovan Morningfire 10,200 Posted March 13, 2015 Could also be that they're leaving those names open for future talents that have nothing to do with the Parry talent. Besides, as Greymere noted, FFG's been using the Improved/Supreme line for talents since EotE. It's worked pretty well, and makes it clear that various talents are an improvement upon the base version. 2 Tear44 and kaosoe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, because PC B didnt have to roll to hit with improved parry, and so could not get 3 threats or a despair for PC A to activate Improved parry.
