    Sheltron doesn't really guarantees a block. It only makes you Block roll 100% succesful.
    If a parry roll can go unrestricted by block, it means that, sometimes, you would do a successful parry roll even with Sheltron up.
    If you never parry, then the parry roll is restricted by a failed block check, making them dependent...and making your parry rate unaffected by the size of your shield a bit strange.

    For my last sentence, it means that a critical hit will bypass Sheltron, not activating it.

    As for miss...Actually I don't recall ever seeing an incoming "Miss" instead of a "Dodge", so I'd say that's a single accuracy/evasion check. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that.

    Simple, subtle, elegant.
