Well, in the fumble rules. I suspect that real warriors probably don't drop their swords or have pieces of armor come flying off, or hit their allies quite as much as people playing in the SCA do.
Likewise, block and parry are lumped into the same category, something that makes sense for inexperienced fighters, who would be happy to block, and wouldn't try for a true parry.
Not to bash Steve or anything. It's not like we have a lot of master swordsmen walking around these days to learn from. Sword & Shield hasn't been a front line fighting skill for quite some time.
