Re: Martial Arts for Wizards
Smallsword + Shield (Buckler) at DX level is 3 points, versus 2 for Staff at DX level. Staff gives you an effective parry of Skill/2 + 6 (including retreat bonus), while Smallsword + Shield gives a Parry of Skill/2 + 7 (including retreat bonus) AND a Block of Skill/2 + 4.
For an extra point or two, the ability to get in a block is pretty helpful, plus shield DB helps against every attack from the front. |
