Improved Parry

Sacrifice next turn's attack to parry one melee attack as immediate action.

The character can parry incoming melee attacks. As an immediate action, when targeted by a melee attack, the character may sacrifice next turn's attack to parry. The character makes an opposed attack roll against the attacker; if the character's roll is higher, the attack is deflected.
