There is a reason why you can't parry ranged physical attacks, no need to explain k? There's also a reason why avoiding attacks with your weapon is called parry. To block something, you want to use a shield instead. So your giving captains a third avoidance although it makes completly no sense. Why not boost parry instead?

Don't like this at all.

But good thing is, that i'll lmao everytime my captain is blocking some arrows with his greatsword, because i'll think of someone who decided that this makes perfect sense.
I'm not so sure this is as rediculous as you make it out to be. I think of a block as a deflection as well, and it's certainly the case that a greatsword or something else could have a chance to deflect a ranged attack. A close physical attack could certainly be blocked by a two-handed weapon as well -- think to any of the movies (or fighting movies in general) where a two-handed staff or pole type weapon blocked a sword or batted away a blow.

I think it's a great example of creativity on the part of the devs, and gives us a reason to bring back the halberd and other 2-handers for our captains
