Usage: parry

Used to strike a defensive stance and parry (counter) the attacks of your
opponent. Most effective on opponents with multiple attacks. A successful
parry will counter one of your opponents attacks.  A higher dexterity means
that more of your opponent's attacks will be countered.

Parry is sometimes automatic once you have learned the skill.  It occurs
reflexively in combat, with greater skill providing more frequent parries.
