Well, I feel that at least a few levels in int. parry are quite useful. It lets your character decide when it is better to dodge/retreat than parry. This begins to work fairly well at level 2. This skill also, as per Hugh, increases with increasing level your chance to control your opponents weapon giving you a bonus on the follow up attack. Int. parry, as levels increase, also allows you to parry more damage off. In other words, a buckler may be able to parry off the same amount of damage as a spiked shield if you have a high enough level of int. parry. Personally, I would suggest getting int. parry to level 2 or 3. I know it is a bit expensive, but so is combat sence, which turned out to be a very useful skill in my opinion. This skill, I feel, would also be rather useful for ambedex characters. Hope this helps!! Sean Referenced By Up
