Default Re: Extra Attack = Extra Defense?

So, one could argue (and I am NOT trying to start one) is that you have chosen one (i.e. Parry) and since you have the "Extra Attack" advantage you get an "extra" parry roll (instead of the one defense roll that is in the RAW) if you have a second weapon ready to parry with.

I definitely am not suggesting that the "Extra Attack" advantage allows (for example) a Block and Parry defense rolls. Just a second try at parrying if the first one doesn't succeed (with the Exploits, p48, number of parries penalties applied).

It hasn't come up in the game I'm running but it may. Trying to stay ahead of the curve a bit.
But it doesn't.
