Suddenly, I want to see if a square trained in [[Two-Handed Weapons]] retains his parry defense against bolt attacks, since spell-casters appear to do so. It would be interesting to see if a square with a runestaff would have an absurdly high ranged DS due to their training in Dodging and their ability to wield a runestaff with 2x weapon training for it. Granted, this would provide no additional protection against spells that rely on casting strength, and the square would suffer from a low damage factor.

Another thing that might be of interest is testing the difference between ranged and bolt attacks. I don't believe there is one, regarding defensive strength calculations, with the exception of spells such as [[Resist Elements]] (it relies on the bolt's elemental nature, and physical "bolts" are not elemental in nature. Although, I would consider arrows from an elemental bow "elemental". I wonder if this spell agrees with me. Lots of wondering going on here!). Of course, if I am found to be wrong in my belief that bolt spells and physical ranged attacks are identical defensively, this page would need to be edited.
