How does parry 5e work in d&d?

An NPC (a fighter) is included in the basic set. He has a Parry 5e reaction which allows him to roll 1d6 and reduce his damage. D&D Basic Rules v0.1 or later include a “Dodge” combat action (p. 72), which is available to all characters and gives you an advantage on dexterity saving throws and disadvantages to anyone attacking you.

This effect is similar to the optional “parrying” rule in the 2nd edition of the “fighting defensively” rule in the 3rd.

Any character can choose to take the feat of Martial Adept. It allows them to perform two combat maneuvers and gain one more superiority die. The character who isn’t a Battlemaster Fighter will not take two combat maneuvers and gain one superiority die. In this case, the one they get is a d6. Parry is one of these combat maneuvers.

Parry 5e

A melee attack by another creature on you. You can use your reaction to reduce damage by using one superiority dice. It is in addition to the number of superiority dice you roll and your Dexterity modifier. Your AC is heavily built-in parrying, so having an opposed roll slows down combat. There is no mechanism in 5e to Give up only one attack. You could be as close as possible to readying an attack to parry, which would end all of your attacks.

What does a Battle Master’s parry do with multiple types of damage?

Jeremy Crawford stated that this was not in the rules and would allow the player to decide how the damage reduction will be split. It does not mean that any reduction in damage to one component of the damage will reduce that of another. The basic rules of combat chapter: “Resistance, then vulnerability are applied after any other modifiers to damage.”
