Just an idea-since dodge is now put out of reach for some players,
for less or more time, and the other defensive combat skill, parry, is
a dex skill, could defensive combat skills be thought up for con
and str fighters? Personally, I don't see why someone using a big sword
or a massive stave is any less capable of parrying attacks that someone
with an epee or foil.

Actually, should be next major code update, all weapons will have
some ability to parry.

In that case, should con and str fighters get the parry skills?

Well, the reason that an epee/foil is considered a better parrying weapon
is because they're light enough to attack and quickly get into defensive
position (and in fact that's one of the main benefits of using a fencing
weapon instead of, oh, a big ol' claymore, and in fact of using a sword
at all instead of a battle axe or halberd). Unlike most other fighters,
fencers are specifically trained in different types of parries.
That's the reason why agile fighters are traditionally better at parrying.
