Shattering‐Parry
After rolling Fitness to mitigate a Critical Strike, a character may invoke Shattering Parry to reroll all mitigation dice. This can only be done once per critical strike, and costs the readied weapon the Damaged quality.
- Complete the Fitness mitigation roll as normal — the mitigation result card appears in chat
- Right-click the mitigation result message
- Select "Shattering Parry — Reroll Mitigation"
- Confirm the action
When confirmed, the module:
- Reverses all critical effects already applied from the original Fitness roll (conditions removed, scar deleted if one was added)
- Adds the Damaged quality to the character's readied weapon
- Launches a new Fitness mitigation roll — only this result counts
