I have a small gripe I want to get off my chest. It's the realism aspect of Opportune Parry and Riposte. I'm not really buying into the fact that a parry and riposte takes two attacks of opportunity and two panache points. I practiced sports fencing for three years, and I'm not saying I'm a master or anything, just that I have a bit of familiarity with the subject. The most sullen kid, easily a level 1 Commoner, can parry and riposte with little effort. The mechanics may be sound, but it just seems especially unrealistic to me. Yes, even in a world of sorcery and exotic species, I have issues with "lack of realism". I'm sorry if this is a problem.
