Dueling Parry and Unarmed Strikes


Rules Discussion


If I have a Fighter with Monk Dedication to get Dragon Stance, can I utilize Dragon Stance with Dueling Parry?

In what way?

Dueling parry isn't a stance, so they don't conflict, and the 2 fears have nothing to do with each other'so requurements. You must be unarmed for dragon stance, and you must have a 1 handed weapon and a free hand for dueling parry.

Using them at the same time is easy, but they aren't doing anything together.


So my Unarmed Strike does not count, but if I were to put on a gauntlet, it would?

EDIT: If it helps, I'm trying to make the Shredder.


It will be a problem if you want to pick up Dueling Dance at level 12, but there's no rule against wielding a melee weapon while in dragon stance, and no requirement to strike with your weapon to gain the benefits of Dueling Stance. Outside of that issue I don't see a problem.

yup. Gauntlet has the free-hand trait meaning it counts as both a wielded weapon and a free hand for any abilities that require one or the other.
