True, but the other card gives the benefit vs all enemies and all attacks, instead of a single one.

I have a rule that allows players to parry/block for other allies in the same engagement. This makes tanks more useful for the group as whole and less focused on just being a turtle themselves.
It's beautiful
Umm, even better is if they use ... (geez I'm at work and having a brain fart) ... one of the basic action cards ... Guarded Position (I think?) that helps protect others in the same engagement.
No that's not the same. That limits their ability to attack. Uding dodge, block and parry doesn't
They can also use everything if they really want to defend a friend.
Why would a tank need to attack anyway
? Improved Guarded position is a superb action. Then get some reaction attacks (Riposte comes to mind), and you can still do damage while protecting your allies.
