But if the attack was 40dmg, they would still get hit by 30 through a 10 barrier.
A one hit negates all damage, which is too strong.
He's trading a dodge for a one-hit barrier. Not that big of a deal. In fact, nearly useless. Blah.

Parry Falcon - LV.1 (60/15)
Using a hasty feint, Fencerman backdashes away from the oncoming assilant/projectile, creating two small cyclones in his wake. Depending on whether the attack was melee or projectile, the primary cyclone will disperse the attack while the secondary chases after the foe.
1. Are Counter-attacks considered no-nos? I don't see anything dealing with Counters on the Sig Effects charts.
2. I'm not even sure how to label this as:
- Dodge (40) + X-Hit (20) (barring the 20 damage secondary cyclone if so)
- Tact. Move [which the attack is a retreat] (20) + X-Hit (20) + 20 dmg counter-attack.
'ppreciate the help!

Wooh. A revived thread. Hoorah.
Uhm, 60 damage AND a dodge, in one sig? I think thats kinda overdoing it for your first level sig attack. If you toned it down to maybe 50 or 40 damage, I think you could get away with it.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the Dodge costs (40) points from the pool. The only damage possibly done is the 20 from the 2nd cyclone.

You are correct. That attack would be a dodge (40) or a barrier (20) plus damage. Tactical movement seems unnecessary, and there is no need for both a dodge and a barrier.
That's interesting, though. I think it's because, technically, adding a dodge to your attack turns the attack into a free action (since a dodge is an action that could normally be taken without a sig attack.) However, depending on the moderator, a barrier might actually be more effective than a dodge-- it's certainly not *half* as effective.
Pally could explain this better.
Also, E-man, this is a very old thread hearkening back to the days of mostly unregulated signature attacks. :3

Yeah, sorry for the necroposting. Just couldn't find a better place to put it. I want to find the right course that would resemble a "parry" best; a simple dodge will not do.
BWAHAHAHAHA!! Yes, Pally could explain it better, but then my brain would turn to mashed potatoes afterwards...

We were discussing "Counter" effects though I do not believe that we gained much headway. If you would like to offer suggestions, please see the thread dedicated to such in the suggestion forum.
