Should Evaluate be worth +2?

[Dingle]

Another good example of when just attacking repeatedly is not a viable option is if you are an encumbered or injured polearm user.

Parry 0U weapons exist, and they're pretty good, letting you do swing+ damage at reach 2+, which means you can retreat and your opponent can't if they don't want to have to take move and attack or all out attack maneuvers to get back in range.

With the parry 0U, you might either choose to use the benefit of those retreats and have a good dodge, or get some good armour.

Unfortuantely, the armour is encumbering, and you might get hit even if you can generally dodge well, bringing you below 1/3 hp.
So you might be left with penalized dodge and no shield, so your only defense is a parry.
Therefore, every attack is like an all out attack, so you're going to want all of the bonuses you can get, especially the evaluate ones.
