Time: https://www.timeanddate.com/Issue Description: Parry is... a bit finnicky when it comes to doing another action while it's toggled. It's a bit hard to reproduce, because i'm not exactly /sure/ when it occurs, but it's happened more than once and had acererak see it. There seems to be some sort of weird freeze of your actions if you sometimes try to use an item while you're in parry mode. You just stand there unable to do anything (including parry!). Found this out while trying to use a blur rune when fighting wolves and got mauled, and later again in a test while trying to use acid splash from the tomb quest upon a spawned orc.
For those that run into this problem, the way to get out of it for now is to just move a little and break that action you were doing, and cancel parry mode. Re-enabling might fix it, but it's kinda jank.

It looks like Parry is just confused on what to do when the player tries to make certain actions that might break them out of parry? Not sure.
-
Combination of sticky modes and a parry fix probably dont make the game like you very much.
This just is what it is. Game is old.

lmao yeah zool. Just thought it'd be best to bring it to attention, just in case anyone else runs into this finnicky issue.
-
Yeah, it's probly the sticky modes tbh. Without it, it'd just drop parry when you use an item "solving" the problem.

Okay. bit more testing. still not sure how it happens but as a heads up- You CANNOT simply undo the freeze by disabling parry or moving. You have to disable parry, attack them to reset your combat shenanigans, THEN you can use your items. Just disabling parry or moving you'll still be locked from using any activatable items such as healing wands until you smack again.
