If you wish to apply it to only one, drop the CDV.  I understand that your
arguement is about game balance which is important and difficult to do
with skills.  However, I think that it would be much easier to use a
weapon to hit somebody who is flailling (sp) about with a weapon than it
would be to bypass the weapon and grab them.

The difference between parrying and wrestling/missile is the difference
between "Hiding" and "Shadows" - one skill requires another component that
the other doesn't.
