Sorry, I was asking Drifting Pollen as to the effect their ruling had. Obviously as you had wrote that the blade was bounced away, where-as Pollen has ruled it probably would have hit the right side, there's a disparity there. Also I can sympathise, this is one of those annoying situations with (as far as I can tell) no historical precedent. I haven't seen it written anywhere if parrying with a shield edge is a good idea (though I have read that parrying into one's body is a bad idea, because of the chance of the sword point simply being deflected into some other vital part of the body.) So judging what would happen if the technique was perfectly pulled off is difficult. Mind clarifying my question though? I'm unsure if you made the ruling that the sword-point was going to react differently so an edit is required or not.
