Questbird Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Yes, that was what I meant. The second weapon is the one which gets the riposte in standard Elric!/SB5; the first is used to parry. However for the other ripostes I mentioned, the Tirikelu-inspired ones, if it is in response to a failed attack, I don't see why it wouldn't be with the primary weapon. One of the things which vaguely annoyed me about the riposte rules in Elric! was that if you were armed with two weapons, instead of a weapon and shield, then the only time you would ever get to use your 2nd weapon in a fight was a riposte, which required a critical success. On reflection, perhaps that is right, because it means two-weapon styles are only useful for very skillful fighters. Doesn't stop players wanting to do it though.
