Blocking(Discussion)

Shields should be used to have a small (10-20%) chance to block attacks and not buff armor.

Why this is a good idea

• the game should be a bit more realistic and a shield that isnt used to block isn't realistic.

Why it may not work out

• May mess up intended game mechanics.
• the game should be a bit more realistic and a shield that isnt used to buff armor isn't realistic.
