Tempo: [w].
Your blade flashes through the air, turning aside attacks made against you. While you maintain this stance, you add the Rank of Parrying Stance to your Evasion.
Stance Action: Parry
Tempo: [w].
If an enemy attacks you with a weapon while you maintain this stance, you may use a Reaction to attempt to parry that attack. The result of this Check replaces your normal Evasion against that attack, even if the result is worse.
Using this Reaction does not reset the Count. Instead it only reduces your current Count by its Tempo.
