Does anyone know how different weapons stack up in terms of parry? (Also interested in hth and unarmed defense for assassins...)

Because parry is weapon type vs. weapon type, there isn't a simple answer which is completely correct in all cases.

Thanks. Can you elaborate on distance and spin? What is that exactly?
3343, They're weapon specific defenses.

You can only distance with a polearm and you can only spin with a staff/spear.
