I've noticed someone out there combined these two and the result is 100% of my opening attacks are being parried. I suspect this is the interaction of parry anything and the ward of blades legacy. Ward of blades appears to buff up parry anything beyond the edges intended benefit. I suspect it goes beyond doubling the effectiveness or anything reasonable and does a full parry check on all combat moves.

That's an awful lot of conjecture, none of which is correct.
