Can the talent Step Aside be used to give you a dodge after a parry? The description of the talent is a bit ambiguous. It says that it essentially gives you a second reaction with which to dodge and also mentions that this allows you to have two dodges, however it doesn't specifically say that you can only use it after dodging, as opposed to in combination with another reaction, such as parry or a free reaction attack.

I says it gives you a second reaction that may only be used to dodge. So yes. You can use your Reaction to parry, and Step Aside to Dodge against another attack in the round. You can even spend reaction to parry/dodge, then dodge with step aside and then parry with wall of steel, I guess. But that one needs support from the others.

It can be used in combination with other reactions, but only a single reaction can defend from any particular attack - you cannot attempt to parry an attack and, if that fails, then attempt to dodge the same.

Yes, with both Step Aside and Wall of Steel you get a total of two extra reactions; one specific to dodge and one to parry. And as Happy said above, you may only attempt one defensive reaction per attack, so choose wisely.
