I agree, blocked attacks shouldn't damage
It should be easyer to parry, it's already with direction but it's hard and useless
But shield bash shouldn't put you on the ground, just knock damage and push enemy 1 step back
Add a footkick that pushes too
Remove more stamin when jumping with an armor
EVERY attack should damage at least 20 HP, do you think that a lumberjack (even unexperienced) with a hachet will need more than 5 attacks to kill a static person ?
