Question about dragons and demons and auto parry

[Narsuss]

in one of the book i cant remember witch, it states that supernatural monsters dont learn a Hand to hand because it beneath them or something like that.

Dose that mean that dragons and demons and such DONT get an auto parry and have to spend attacks to do so?

[kiralon]

Anything with a hand to hand style gets autoparry from memory.

[Veknironth]

Well, as Kiralon says, anyone with a H2H skill gets an automatic parry. In general, a parry requires an attack action UNLESS you have a H2H skill. So, I'd say that those creatures without a H2H skill would have to expend an attack action to parry.

"One of the advantages of training."

[Reagren Wright]

That might give mortals an advantage but at the same time why would their be a school of specialized hand combat training for infernals
(demons and deevils) and dragons? Who is teaching them this skill? Does the infernal spend time breaking boards and learning "wax on"
and "wax off"? Seems a logical conculsions since they are born with inherant skills their fighting abilities would include automatic parry.
Now some lesser deevils/demons have the skill equavalency of Soldier O.C.C., so that means they come with HtH: Basic or the option of
Expert. But as always your game, your world, your rules.

[Hendrik]

Ever try to catch a fly or seen a dog jump and turn 120 degrees in mid-air, come down and run on, etc. I know it does not say so in the rules but I give all animals and animal intelligence level monsters auto-dodge.

Many monsters and all of the gods have either an RCC, perform as an OCC or have one or multiple OCCs. All those receive auto-parry in my game.

While it is nigh moot whether or not a God gets some additional boni from HTH, including more attacks, in case it counts in a game, I will add the HTH boni and attacks to the ones listed. Those gods that have a men-at-arms OCC listed get Expert, men-of-magic get basic, assassins get assassin, and palladins get palladin, etc.
