[GURPS concepts] Parry and Block

~~Figleaf23~~ · 12-22-2013, 12:27 PM

Hello,

I'm working on a setting where I hope to have some weapons and defenses a little different than what the players may be used to.

In this regard, I have discovered that I don't understand the basis for GURPS separation of Blocking vs Parrying.

What defines the objects with which one can Block vs those with which one can Parry?

Are particular movements considered 'Blocking' and others 'Parrying'?

What would have to change to make Blocks and Parry's fungible?
