If you don't use a fencing weapon, you are at -2, if you don't have WM/TBaM, you are at -4 on those repeated parries. |

Re: Concentrated Defense rule from 3e
When one is using multiple attacks? Either you have Extra Attack, or DWA, or a high-level combo, or you have such a high skill that you can Rapid Strike. Really, this is mostly signifies cinematic or near-cinematic character: AoAs aren't something you normally take.

But also, a person with Skill 16, can use Flurry of Blows and do two Rapid Strikes at only -3...or skill 13. Completely within the realm of realism. If you don't allow Extra Effort within the realm of realism, then a skill 18 person can do a Rapid Strike at -6 for ultimate skill 12. Still very doable. Also, in a completely realistic game, most of your unskilled fighters are probably taking AoA's all the time. |

Re: Concentrated Defense rule from 3e
On the defensive side, epee fencing feels sort of all about being compelled to uphold focused defense on the hand and arm while keeping something left for the body in case.
