Default [3E] Full coordination question

A thought occurred to me and the book doesn't have an obvious answer so I figured I'd ask the community.

Full coordination increases the number of attacks per round (expensively but yeah) but would it increase the number of parries allowed?

Would a person with FC at Lv1 be able to parry twice like they can attack twice? Or would parries be completely unaffected?

It seemed logical to me that it would help parries the same way it helps attacks, especially considering how expensive it is, but I thought I would get a second opinion.

That's not what Full Coordination does. It lets you use an additional hand to attack each turn. It doesn't let you make a second attack with the same weapon, you need a second one in your other hand. Since *anybody* can parry once per weapon already, no, it doesn't really gain you anything defensively.

Well yeah, I did understand how FC worked, just kinda said it wrong. I just had not realized that having an offhand weapon readied allowed an extra parry already with that hand.

Thanks for clearing that up.

It's on p.B99, if you have two weapons, you can parry twice.
