Sooo here's the thing. I made a character on a server where the max level is 5, so I thought, Hey, why don't I go with a guy who specializes in Parrying?! Everyone's AB probably isn't great, and I don't have to worry about AC.

BUT then I started wondering how parry really works. Everyone will have 1 attack unless they're monk or duel wielding...So, a few questions

1. If everyone has 1 attack, and someone is duel wielding, will I be able to block the main hand, and the off hand with my only 1 attack per round?
2. Will I actually be able to reposte, since I only have 1 attack per round?
3. If I was dual wielding, and I can't reposte with only 1 attack per round, can I reposte with my offhand weapon?

Hmm..That's all I can think of right now..Opinions? Answers? I've not tested Parry, so the following info is anecdotal and gleaned from many of the posts I've read on the boards:

No.

Yes. Riposte occurs if your Parry skill is more than 9 points higher than your attacker's AB.

You can only Parry 1 attack per flurry, maximum 3 attacks per round, but only as many attacks as your character has from your BAB (to the maximum of 3). So the offhand doesn't enter the equation.
