Yes, Ultimate Parry is from Kensai: reduce damage by your level.Healing is different than reducing damage, but as a Fighter I've found most of my powers are Standard actions, so finding some ways to sneak in "I heal myself as a Minor" has been very handy, as I rarely have anything else for a Minor. (Activating stances, mostly - usually a "do once, at the start of the encounter" for me). I've also been using the Cloak of the Walking Wounded so that, if I do decide to go with sacrificing a Standard Action to heal myself, I heal by 2 surges. (Aside: Is there an easy way to push "Second Wind" to a Minor instead of a Standard? ...I mean, besides being a dwarf.)I do agree that most of the resistance in that encounter came from two magic items, but that was an acceptable choice for the party considering the treasure(s) available. You could have done some similar things for yourself with some of the other Fighter powers I hadn't taken. It is a fairly cool character build, to be able to stand toe to toe with a dragon several levels higher than me without actually sucking in a ton of the rest of the party's actions to keep healing me.Here's the Fighter powers I spot on a quick read that are useful for this sort of build:Resolute Shield - At Will 1 - resist Con vs 1 target until EONT.Brazen Assault - Daily 5 - resist 5 for Encounter, but grant C/A for Encounter.Unstoppable - Utility 2 - +2d6+Con Temp-HPBolstering Strike - Utility 16 - +2d8+Con Temp-HPClever pursuit of the Invigorating keyword could give you THP at pretty much every power from L1 to L29. You could also go with the surge-less healing of Regeneration from Boundless Endurance - Utility 2 - stance: regen 2+Con while bloodiedUnyielding Avalanche - Daily 15 - stance: regen Con, +1AC, +1Sav, plus auto-damage for adjacent enemiesExhilirating Assault - Daily 29 - 3W attack, spend surge, make a save, and gain regen 15 while bloodied for Encounter</blockquote>
