Re: daredevil advantage.
I wouldn't count Parry, Block for Daredevil. They're NOT skill rolls and the section that describes Active Defenses is split from Skills or anything related to them.
Also, people need to keep in mind that adventuring is about taking risks, so unnecessary risks would need to be close to outrageous deals to qualify, imo. Taking 3 orcs head-on (they're tough enough to 1v1 player characters) was a normal course of action for one of the characters in my table so, to qualify for Daredevil, I'd judge he would need to do so naked or without his shield and using a subpar weapon or something along the lines. I find it so lackluster that I house-ruled it to a more usable version. |

As pointed out, you would consider him needing to go above and beyond his SOP, I would consider his SOP to qualify for Daredevil. Were I GM he would be getting +1 to all skills a lot, while with you he would get them almost never.

Re: daredevil advantage.
I would agree, if he routinely takes on three Orcs then he is role playing his,daredevil very well and should be rewarded for it.

Re: daredevil advantage.
If your players are routinely taking gross risk, they should have On the Edge on their character sheet. That'll offset the cost of daredevil.
The wording in Basic says +1 to skill rolls and reroll any critical failure. Those are separate sentences. The passage could be read to include critical failure on, for example, a knockdown roll.

Re: daredevil advantage.
"or engage in some other kind of near insane, suicidal behavior" just to complete the sentence where the All-Out Attack bit appears.

Re: daredevil advantage.
The two trickiest words in Basic: _or_ and _and_. Nearly every dispute I've ever had involves one or the other.

Re: daredevil advantage.
I am thinking the or is for situations where all out attack makes no sense. Getting into a car chase while on a motorcycle for example.
