Powers appears to disagree.

These rules don’t apply to abilities with the Active Defense limitation. Such abilities use the rules under Active Defense (p. 112) instead.

I see only a few references to "parry" in Psi Powers, mostly adding the No Parry Limitation to some Innate attacks, along with a discussion of parrying for the Astral Sword ability, and a mention of the Strong Blade perk for PK to treat a regular weapon as fine. No hits for "power parry" at all in that book.

Oops! I've been doing it wrong then. Thank you Anaraxes.

As for Psionic Powers: It's on page 8. under 'power defenses'.
Apparently it is it's own thing there.
