Parrying Natural Weapons

[Ssendam]

There is a rule that you can't use a natural weapon to parry a non-natural weapon, (Claws to Parry a sward for example), but what if ...

You use your sword to parry a claw attack? Shouldn't the incoming attack take damage? it may give more of an advantage to the PC with the sword, but frankly they would have an advantage.

While I'm at it, ... Weapon HP's, I am probably being a duffus but I can't find the rule whereby they can be reduced. I think RQ3 had something where if you parried and the incoming damage was over the weapon AP, then the weapon took a point of damage.

By the book it doesnt damage the attacker though I'd play it that a critical success becomes a hit on the attackers limb.
Mostly parrying is propably deflecting or simply keeping the enemy at bay, I imagine.


Weapons receive damage when directly targeted (which is a form of Precise attack)
