-To use these, you only need to be proficient with the weapon. Any class can do it. And NPCs can do it so expect a lot of hidden daggers!

+===== Parrying with "defense check" rules =====
+This is for *Lock Blades* and *Disarming Parry*.
+**PC parrying NPC.** Make an attack roll but also add the natural die
+result of your failed defense roll, vs the NPC's AV+10.
+*(Example: You have defense +3 and roll a two so your defense is five,
+which misses an incoming AV of 14. To parry, if your longsword attack
+is +4, roll d20+6 (a fresh d20 plus your attack bonus of +4 plus the
+two you rolled on your defense) vs 24 (their AV 14, plus ten).*
+**PC being parried by NPC.** It's probably easier to have the NPC roll
+the parry vs the incoming attack you rolled.
+Otherwise, add a new d20 to your original result, and compare that sum to
+the NPC's AV+12.
+**Crits:** It's the original defense/attack that matters for crits.
+The parry check can prevent a crit, not cause a crit. But as you can
+see above, it's much harder to parry a crit.
+**DC for Disarming Parry:** Prof+strexterity+8. Or roll
+strexterity+prof vs their str save value. The person who is holding
+on to their weapon needs to use strength while the disarmer can choose
+which of the two abilities they use to disarm.
