Turned blade: the capstone is now Return blow. A good parry, a block in the first quarter second with a shield or weapon that has a timed block bonus, makes your next melee swing cost no stamina, if you take it within five seconds (
ReturnBlowSeconds). One swing spends it, and a swing the game refuses keeps it. It works at an empty bar, since the price is read as nothing from the moment the swing starts. Melee only: swords, knives, clubs, polearms, spears, fists and axes; pickaxes and the other tools, bows and staffs do not count. A block that stamina or stagger broke through is not a good parry and arms nothing. It replaces Riposte, the first draft, which threw a quarter of the blocked damage back at the attacker; that code is gone. The -8% block stamina the capstone always gave stays, as a companion, so nobody who carved the stone loses it.
