The character makes a parry attempt against an attack of an enemy. The character makes a contested ability check. The character may use [Prowess](Prowess.md), [Initiative](Initiative.md), or [Grace](Grace.md). The attacker may use [Prowess](Prowess.md), [Initiative](Initiative.md), or [Grace](Grace.md). If the character succeeds, the attacker receives a penalty to their attack roll equal to the [Sub-Attribute](Prism%20Attributes.md) used. This ability must be declared to be used after the roll is revealed.
