            Parry Skill

                                    

            Usage: style parry





   With knowledge of the advanced defensive tactic, parrying, a 


warrior can sacrifice a bit of their held weapon's offensive power,


and instead, use it as a defensive tool.  Besides increasing your


armor class and making you harder to hit, you will also be able


to completely deflect an attack, before it has a chance to penetrate


your armor.





   If you are not being attacked, and have no reason to hold back


for defense, you won't.  So you need not stop parrying if a group


member is defending.

            Peek Skill

                                    

               This skill allows you to see what objects other people and creatures

are carrying.  Each time you use it you may see a few different objects

that the creature is carrying, more the higher your skill level is.  Also,

if the subject is resting, sleeping, or otherwise not paying attention you

have a better chance of seeing what they are carrying.  But be careful,

because if you fail there is a chance the person you are looking at will

know you are peeking into their pockets and bags.

   This skill relies on DEXTERITY.


            Picklock Skill

                        ( Picking Locks )

                                    

            A handy thief skill that can be used to get past basic security measures on


many doors an containers.





    Examples:





        pick gate


        pick safe





When picking doors and other room exits you may also specify the direction


in which your target lies:





    Example:





        pick door east





This is useful when there are multiple doors in the same room.

            Pierce Skill

                                    

                This skill determines your chances to hit with piercing weapons,


such as short swords, daggers, spears, etc.  Piercing weapons require


a different style of attack than do slashing weapons or bludgeoning


weapons.  Your proficiency at the pierce skill depends on your


dexterity and strength.





See Also: Slash, Bludgeon


            Piety Skill

                        ( Clerical Discipline )

                                    

                This skill is a measure of how pious/religious you are.  It is based on


your Wisdom attribute, since wisdom determines how strong- willed you are and


how much of a moral sense you have.  This skill affects the power of all


piety-based spells, though it has no other power of its own.  However, this


skill is necessary to all priest- type skills and spells, since piety-based


skills are derived from one deity or another, and the more pious you are


towards that deity the stronger the spells it will grant.
