Deflect, Parry and Resilience Conversion Process

This weekend I will be converting all character cards over to the new Deflect Standard.

This will be automatic and will not require any work on your part.

This may cause some people to wind up with negative unspent build totals. This is going to be OK. You can either wait until you have earned enough build to be positive again before learning more skills or you can decide to unlearn multiple deflects to get back to positive unspent build territory.

For the next few months Unlearning Deflects will NOT count towards the max of 10 build worth of skills for unlearning if you are in the situation of being at negative unspent build.

A note about ITEMS that have Parry and Resilience skills in them. These Items will need to be looked at to be converted. Please talk to Mike Smith about this and he will help you get your Parry and Resilience items converted to comply with the new rules.

I will also be converting Iajitsu to its new cost.

If we have the ability to get Deflect for multiple build costs (off different lists), will we get it for the cheapest possible price in the rewrite, or the price off the list we previously had it from?

Short answer, yes.

I will try to automate this. If I don't get that situation taken care of for you then we'll take care of it manually after the fact.

People who have both Deflect and Parry... what will happen to the Party's?

The Parries become Deflects

Your parry skills will turn into deflect skills.

Just need to check. Burkhart up until this point has been able to make Mark of the Smith runes of Resilience. I'm assuming that he is now able to make Deflect runes instead?

Makes me a lot more useful to a lot more people.

Josh - given Elric had Parry as his mark (and it becomes the new Deflect), you might want to ask if you can respend into a new, more diverse skill.

Any parry or resilience will change to deflect. If an update is needed due to this rule, we will work with you to make this transition smooth.

Maybe. I don't really have many other skills that are worth making as a Maker's Mark. The only other one i have is cleave and that's kind of underwhelming.
