Unarmed Parry
Threats of the Galaxy, page 53.
When you fight defensively, as a reaction you can negate a melee attack by making a successful unarmed attack roll. If your attack roll equals or exceeds the attack roll of the incoming melee attack, the attack is negated. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed, and you take a cumulative −2 penalty to all attack rolls for each attack roll made since the beginning of your last turn.
