Need Input on a Talent - Ox Body Technique

By Direach, in Rules Questions

I want to add a talent that allows a character to use Parry while unarmed (fluffed as avoidance, deflection, or extraordinary natural toughness). It does not itself provide Parry, only eliminates the requirement of needing a weapon. I can't decide on a tier for it though. Tier 2 seems too low, Tier 3 seems about right. Thoughts?

In starwars there is a Tier 3 talent well a 15 xp one that does the same. You cant always compared tiers though since trees vs pyramids.

Its worded like this

May Parry while unarmed.
Reduce the strain cost to
Parry while unarmed by 1
(minimum 1)

Decide upfront if you want this to be used with brawl weapons or just unarmed

Thanks, I'll review the full text of the talent, and see what will work best.
