Possible Typo in Twin Parry?


Classes


One of my players asked me about the Twin Parry Fighter feat, which says:

Twin Parry wrote:
You use your two weapons to parry attacks. If neither weapon is agile or if either weapon has the parry trait, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC until the start of your next turn. Otherwise, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to AC until the start of your next turn instead. You lose the circumstance bonus if you no longer meet the requirement.

He thinks that the "If neither weapon is agile" should be "If either weapon is agile". I'm inclined to rule it as written, since it makes sense to me that heavier weapons would be more effective at parrying. Also, the "either" interpretation is much more permissive in that you only need one agile weapon to get the +2.

Any thoughts?


I agree with your line of logic and if you follow the fighter feats there is a clear build for Agile weapons and non-agile weapons when it comes to TWF.

But yea Parrying with some daggers will be less effective than parrying with two hammers or w/e.


I think the wording is correct. You either are not using agile weapons and trading damage for defense, or you are using a special 1-handed parry weapon which only have a d4 damage dice.

If the either wording was used in the first part of the ability, there would be no reason to ever use the Main-Gauche or Clan Dagger.
