Well, that's convincing...
I've always heard that, but there's really _no_ way to tell...  How many
fights would it take to convince you?

In the primus tourney, in the runoffs, Donny, at least, and others perhaps
were using off hand daggers.  I would think that the reason people don't
use off hands is because parrying is so weak against a good attack.  It's
possible that you don't even want to think of encouraging your warrior to
parry instead of dodge.

please be serious.  I did get a good laugh out of it, though.  (That's
right, my _three_ lord protectors are right up there...)
