Risposte (Slave Pits)

Risposte is the action available for a character just after he has parried or dodged his opponent's attack successfully. It uses the same attack buttons as an attack (and the use item button, if an item is ready).

The attack buttons show for a variable amount of time, the 'risposte time', that depends on the deviation of the parry or dodge, the pressure, the character's talents, etc...

If the character chooses to riposte, the stamina is checked and spent as for any attack, but the cost grows with the deviation of the parry or dodge, just as the damage a parry lets through does: nothing extra after a perfect defense, and up to 50% more after the worst one. Then a regular attack begins.

A risposte not used for any reason is 'forfeit', and both combatants are idle again.
