I'm building a Vanguard with the intent to use a Gun Sword as the character's weapon and take Defensive Armaments to give them the ability to defend themselves in melee, where they'll likely be spending most of their time.
How is Defensive Armaments intended to interact with combination weapons like the Gun Sword? Is the intent that only the ranged half gains the Parry trait? Or does the weapon itself gain the parry trait because it is a single object with two modes?
I'll have to just deal with whatever the answer is, but it would significantly affect how the character would act and whether it would be worth it to take the Mauler Dedication.
