Seems to me not very attractive: best option is to become routed !I like more easy way( may be too much easy or that change too much the normal mechanics).
If an hero declare than he shall parry : orbs and damage is as flags (thematically this is realistic !)
Enemy heros (not heroic, villains you are cowards to gang many on one :D ) could be win,when my hero FAILS(card do nothing)(40%) :but i shall use my sword as a shield.
If you like i must pay somethingnext turn i must cure my self one wound or train at half or move just one space,but i cannot quest (i am too much upset from what happen to me)
