[QUOTE="Stellardrifter, post: 8488648, member: 7034031"] Thank you for the answers! The question remains, if the parrying property does not use a reaction, does the level 7 Duelist feature "[...] whenever you use your [B]reaction[/B] to add an expertise die to your AC using a parrying weapon [...]" not apply to, well, parrying? The only reaction use that could grant you an expertise die I've found in the Adventurer's guide is from the [B]Parrying Counter[/B] maneuver (p474). However, this maneuver is used at the end of your turn and grants you AC for a turn against a specific enemy, not an incoming attack. This goes against the writing of [B]Parry and Thrust[/B] which specifies "whenever you use your reaction [...] and the [B]triggering [/B]attack misses you" So, [B]RAW[/B], if the parrying property is free, you cannot use [B]Parry and Thrust[/B] with it because it is not using a reaction. If the parrying property costs a reaction, it falls in place. We're leaning pretty heavily on "houseruling" the parrying property to expend a reaction, but we can only hope for an official answer.
