>It makes sense for him to rely on technique like parrying, rather than on brute strength, like Fighter would.
It would make more sense for him to rely somewhat on his magical cleric abilities like the rest of his kit leans towards. A "parry" is a more natural, magicless technique that makes sense for someone lacking nearly any magical ability, especially for someone like the fighter who seems as agile as he his strong.
Maybe they could have all benefited from their own "flavorful" block/parry mechanic, like the mage has some "magical shield" he could throw up that blocks ranged attacks and allows him to keep casting.
