To parry is to use your weapon to block/reflect an incoming attack with said weapon. The reason they have a '0' next to them (I'm guessing) is because that particular type of weapon has no real bonus to parrying...i.e.: it wasn't really designed to be used that way.
yeah i know what parry means but how can you not parry with a sword or a staff? I mean you obviously couldnt against a weapon shot but against other swords you could
I would guess that it was a more recent addition to the stats, and has not actually been filled in with values for each weapon after it was added. I assume it will be before combat actually becomes possible.
