A remise is a follow-up attack made immediately after an opponent
parries your weapon. It usually involves angling and redirecting your
deflected weapon to strike a different part of the defender's body,
such as their extended parrying arm, or subtly manuevering so that
the defender's momentum carries him into the deflected attack.

A remise is difficult to pull off outside of a formal duel. A high
dexterity increases the odds of success. High impact weapons, such as
axes, hammers and maces, are harder to redirect, as are two-handed
weapons. Wielding one will lower the chances of a successful remise.

It should be noted that the attack is robbed of much of its force by
being parried, and thus a remise will not do a great deal of damage.
Successful remises also tend to be infrequent. Many melee fighters
forgo this skill in favor of adding to their offensive repertoire.
