Block is an ability in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.
Description
Use your shield to attempt to block incoming weapon attacks, completely resisting the attack (if successful) at the cost of Recovery Time.
Turn-based mode:
Use your shield to attempt to block incoming weapon attacks, completely resisting the attack (if successful) at the cost of Initiative.
Effects
- Self: 30% resistance against weapons, +25% Recovery Time with weapons
Notes
- Resistance against weapons is not to be confused with resistance against Afflictions. It is simply a chance to negate an incoming attack (in this case a 30% chance). When this occurs, the attack deals no damage and is treated as a miss.
