Actually from the point of view of someone who has been fighting with
Medieval Weapons since 1958 - Yes I can imagine it & have done it.
I can tell you that the specific gift was added based on me & what
I demonstrated during the writing of the game. Steve Perrin had watched
a battle I had where I had lost my left arm during an SCA melee back in
the mid-70's and proceeded to hold off 7 guys with just a short
one-handed spear and still managed to take down 3 of them before my
companions came up & finished the rest. Admittedly this was a very
unusual case.<br>
<br>
So it is as you can see a very valid skill. All that being said if you
so desire then you could rationally limit it to "90% to attack and
parry when armed with 1H spear & Hoplon (cult) shield". It depends
on your vision of the scenario. It would be far more common for the
attack to be with the spear & the parry with the shield & thus
the player would lose the ability if not armed specifically with the
cult shield & spear. How do you envision it?<br>

Last day my little brother asked me to create a RQ3 character for him.
He is a fan of Link, of the Zelda videogames, so he chose to create a
green elf. He is initiate of Aldrya and Yelmalio (Halamalao), and when
he rolled for the Yelmalio gift, he got the "90% to attack and parry
with 1H spear". <br>
<br>
But, wait a second, can you imagine someone parrying attacks with a 1H
spear? O_O;<br>
<br>
Should I change this for a 90% parry with shield?<br>
Or just take the 2H-spear-90%-attack-and-parry gift instead?<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
