They could choose to use both at the same time to increase the die to a d6edit: just to expand on why, the weapon itself has the property and restriction of "once per turn". Therefore it's pretty easy to reason that two weapons would each have their own "once per turn" ability. Only a creature proficient with the weapon can use that property and the only simple weapon with parrying is two handed (quarterstaff) so it's limited to mostly martial characters who've invested in two weapon fighting. Additionally, and I'd be curious to see the math on when one becomes better than the other, a shield is going to be better than one or two parrying weapons against a lot of attacks. As the average of a d4 it's +2.5. 50% of the time it's going to be equal or worse and the other 50% your ac has a chance of stopping something higher, but it's not guaranteed. But the third, fourth, and beyond times it's 0. It sure doesn't feel broken to give them two uses and encourages active decisions off the player's turn. Seems like a win all around.</blockquote>
