I have always thought of this as imposing your weapon in the path of the attack, rather than slapping the blow aside. They punch at you, you put the mace in the way such that your power and theirs is combined. The punch at you, you angle the sword in such a way as to force them to punch a sharp edge, or you draw cut them on the way end. In this way, I find half damage most appealing. What does Aggressive Parry do in this regard?
