Parrying

Version 0.34: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

It shields the wearer if their last action was a melee attack. The shielding is half as effective if the wielder's offhand is occupied by an item other than their weapon.";

The parrying brand can be found on gloves. It increases SH for 1 turn when attacking, +4 SH with a non-weapon item in the offhand, or +8 SH otherwise.
