Defensive Talent. You deflect enemy melee attacks with greater efficiency. You gain the following benefits:

• You gain +2 Shield Bonus to Melee Defence.

• When you use Block Reaction, you reduce the damage by d4+3 (instead of 3).

You can only use Parry against Melee Attacks.

Special: This talent stacks with Shield Combat talent. This means you gain an extra +X to your Shield Bonus, and the die you roll when performing a Block Reaction increases by one size. Use the following die size progression: d4 → d6 → d8.
