Monster attacks with special  effects generally have reduced damage compared to similar level monsters  with no such effect. If parry locked out the extra effects at 0 damage, it may be a little too easy for a fighter (or a pair of fighters, one with Protect) to lock those abilities out and make those monsters ineffective.Edit: Although, perhaps this is another possible "advanced parry" effect.Poison though has always played oddly with hit points. It's a good counter-example to the otherwise abstract feel they have in other situations. With poison effects a hit is a hit, and has definitely drawn blood . . .</blockquote>
