Reap the Whirlwind

From MRQWiki

Requirements: Dex 15, 90% with spears or staves

Hero Points: 8

As a Reaction to a ranged attack you may parry them at the base skill of the weapon you are using. You may use this to deflect one or all incoming *projectiles.

Common sense dictates one cannot parry projectiles that are several sizes larger than yourself. So no parrying catapult shots unless you are a giant. As well as magical effects are exempt from this ability. However, most arrows, bolts and sling bullets are fair game.

This feat is relatively common in both Eastern and Western literature and I was amazed not to find it in the Core book.

Of course, if you really want to be fancy, you can add one or two handed swords to the list of allowed weapons and bump the cost to 10.
