I believe Grabbing Parry and Aggressive Parry open up the hand to be targeted, so perhaps the -4 to skill (-2 to parry) for using the off-hand should apply only to those, but not standard unarmed parries?

Martial Arts introduced some options there for it being a hit to the solar plexus, definitely more effective.

Oddly I just noticed, since retreats are so inferior for Brawling parries (1 ap for +1) you pretty much have the same efficiency ratio as for Feverish Defense (2 ap for +2).

and I rolled 13. very glad I chose to retreat. I'm at 6/10 AP. Make your second attack. Please note I get a retreat bonus against that as well.

Hm... what is the penalty for reacting to something moving 4yards/second on the speed/range table? :)
