Hi.
I couldnt find anywhere explanation on how reactions work in FG. For instance if someone attacks a target that has parry reaction option "Parry. Adds 2 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the PC/NPC must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon." Same with shield spell. Because monster/PC already roll an attack and then you should have some kind of option to intervene with reaction action.
Is this possible here?

You can't interrupt the attack, that's why the damage roll is triggered separately. Multiple ways to do this, the two ways we work this at my table is either;
1) roll the attack, announce the parry, have the GM look at the chat result and say hit or miss with the modification.
2) Apply an effect (AC:2) prior to the attack, roll attack as normal and let FG tell you if the attack hit.

Note that the GM also has access to a Reaction checkbox on the CT so he knows who has taken a reaction since their last turn or not. Not sure if the players have access to such.

Create a modifier called Parry: -2 when the player invokes Parry hit the modifier and redrag the attack back onto the target and it will recalculate the attack roll with -2 penalty.
