Re: Nicho sai
It depends on what you mean by 'double parry'. If you mean the thing where you use two weapons talent to parry then I guess the answer would be roll the attack on 4d and 4 pts of protection (as per two weapon talent) plus -1 to hit (as per fencing talent)

Re: Nicho sai
No; I would not add the 'shield-like' and 'weapon-like' armor bonuses. This is similar to a discussion we had some months ago about using shields as weapons in the two-weapon talent. If you allowed this sort of double-dipping, the end result is obnoxiously goofy: Two tower shields, Shield Expertise talent + double parry using two weapons talent = 12 points of protection. I think this is just another example where the author did not bother to write a paragraph explaining that the intent is not that we hack the rules to produce a lot of nonsense.

Re: Nicho sai
So when does the MG provide any benefit at all over the cheaper lighter throwing knife? (Actual medieval daggers intended for any type of extended wielded use weigh at least half a pound while actual MG were around a pound).

Re: Nicho sai
Good point, which is why I only allow the defensive bonus for the Main Gauche, not the dagger. The design of the MG is specific to this use whereas the dagger is not so designed. And I know the rules don't say that.
