major gm phuq up?
i have always been under the impression that in RMC, we could only use 50% of our OB to dump in to our DB for parry. after just looking at the parrying rules, seems i am wrong and we can use 100%? or even divide that 100% parry amongst multiple targets?

Y’might be thinking that for when someone is Stunned or “Must Parry”?
Then their max is 50% because it’s forced vs decided upon pre-attack. That or many believe that because simple math is easier than calculating a 43% Parry on a +56 OB.
Otherwise, blow yer wad for Parrying any amount.
In fact, a 100% Parry adds an extra +5 to DB(+25 to +30 for Main Gauches/Sais) on top that many forget to include.
Shield parrying missile fire is supposed to eat up 50% of a Defender’s action in a round but I rarely see any GM apply that % Activity to anyone, NPC or PC alike. It’s like using Encumbrance/Exhaustion live at a table vs in a VTT…nobody uses it, heh.Watch our RM hijinx, thrice a week!

What Majyk said but I would add you a player can only parry the target he attacks. So typically they can only parry one opponent (martial artists being an exception). Of course if a player is hasted in some way or has two-weapon combo, he can potentially parry an additional opponent.
I would guess the rule you were thinking of is two-handed weapons which can only apply a maximum of 50% parry against an opponent using a one-handed weapon?
