So Fencer doing off-hand parry with MG stops three hits (against one-handed weapons) and has only the -1 DX from Fencer to be attacked.

A Fencer using Shield Expertise with a buckler stops two hits, but has the total -2 DX as the talents stack. Doing a defend is then five dice against -2 DX that stops two hits to be attacked.
