Parry bonus (PB) is a defensive bonus which is similar to dodge bonus (DB), with some notable differences, however. A character's parry bonus is a rating of his ability to parry or deflect attacks completely without taking any damage. Unlike dodge bonus, parry bonus is split when fighting multiple enemies. On the other hand, parry bonus is lowered much less when bashed than dodge bonus is. Parry bonus suffers a lesser penalty from encumbrance due to worn/carried weight than dodge bonus, but more than offensive bonus. Parry bonus can be increased with various pieces of armor and trinkets.
