Well, they could dodge and then parry unarmed – I think it would cut down on abuse of infinite dodges ("all Dodge, all the time") to do things that way. But I suppose that allowing a dodge both times would be fine, perhaps at -1 per dodge after the first. It's mostly "all Parry, all the time" that gets out of hand, because there's a strong incentive for a fighter to crank up just one skill until multiple-parry penalties aren't
that crippling. They would still get the value of multiple parries against multiple attacks from a single weapon or attacks from multiple attackers . . . just not against a single attacker's specific attempt to tie up one weapon with a parry, which is a moderately common real-life tactic.
