Parry worth the investment here?
I checked the wiki, but there is no info about it there cept the note its widely implemented and useful for dex builds.

Re: usefulness of parry
It depends on how you plan on using parry. 1 on 1 its not as good as you would hope. The NWN combat rounds is broken into sections there are 3 of them. During each of these sections you get to make an attack (or more) depending on your number of attacks. If you have 3 attacks you get 1 per sections, if you have 4 attacks you get 2 in the first section and 1 in each of the other 2 following. If you have 5 attacks you get 2 in the first and 2 in the second.
To clarify this a bit lets say you have 10 attacks:
Phase 1 attacks:
1, 4, 7, 10 - this is the numbered attacks in that phase, your first fourth seventh and tenth attack all go off in that phase.
Phase 2 attacks:
2, 5, 8
Phase 3 attacks:
3, 6, 9
Now for parry. When you parry you can parry one attack per person per phase of combat. This means our character with 10 swings would be able to parry all the attacks of someone with 3 attacks per round (one in each phase). If 10 swing toon were to fight someone who had 5 attacks, we would still only be able to parry 3 attacks per round (one in each phase). So 1 on 1 if youre fighting someone with more than 3 attacks you lose alot of the ability to counter attack.
On the other hand you could parry 3 monsters with 3 attacks per round and never get hit.
