    This is how I remember it, so raising parry is best to use a buckler and walk around the woods making animals swarm you. I like parry for RP style

    Pretty much. I recently raised it by buying about 14 cats and letting them beat on my toon. Used some crappy armor and buckler shields and didn't have to use 1 bandaid. Very easy skill to raise and I can see its merit on the RP side of things.

    Yeah, I tamed 8-10 birds and gated them to a single trapped tile in a house, then had my toon with several crappy wooden shields on. GMed rather quickly, but those shields break fast.

    If any of you pro-parry fellas need any shields hit me up, I have a bunch of good ones I'll never use :)

    fwiw, the UOR playguide (which was packaged with the retail game) just says your attacker may miss if you're wearing a shield and the skill check is successful.
