Brawling block

Brawling Block
Skill type: Skill
Skill subtype: Defensive Passive
Primary user: Bandit
Requirements: a shield, an empty hand, or a 2-handed weapon

A bandit wearing a shield may use this skill to ward off attacks, much as any other shield-using profession. When used in this manner, this skill is primarily effective against daggers, and least effective against whips, flails, maces, and axes.

A bandit who is not wearing a shield and has one free hand may also use this skill to ward off unarmed blows with his own body, though this is obviously not effective against actual weapons.

Primary Attribute: Strength
