I meant that the prior round, when Lydia parried the female guard's attack and took her out, the female guard's attack had originally missed.  There was no incoming damage from her.<br/><br/>The male guard had hit that same round with a 24 attack, which seemed to be ignored or overlooked, and dealt 6 nonlethal damage.<br/><br/>The next round Lydia did not try and parry the last guard's 27 attack and was hit for another 6 nonlethal damage.<br/><br/>I am not saying don't use Opportune Parry and Riposte, I'm clarifying Lydia's current condition based on the posts so far since it might make a difference in future encounters.
