Parrying with long pole weapons

Radoslav · 12-12-2011, 04:18 PM

Long pole weapons, such as spear with Reach 1,2, require a Ready maneuver to change their reach.

If I am holding a spear in Reach 2 and my opponent steps in (reducing the distance to Reach 1) and attacks - can I Parry with the spear (if I do not retreat)?

I cannot find the rules for that...

Using common sense, I'd apply a penalty to such a Parry... maybe -2? I think stepping in closer than the range of long weapons is a sensible maneuver, isn't it?
