<pre>
  1. Miss: All attacks can miss you, based on your Dex and Dex adds.
  2. Shield: In left hand, can block all non-bow attacks, based on the shield's Armor Class (AC). (Shields are useless in the right hand.)
  3. Shield Spell: Can block all attacks, based on how much of it you have on (cast on you, and from rings and bracers).
  4. Armor: Can block all attacks, based on its Armor Class (AC) if it's not a bow attack, or based on its Arrow Deflection instead if it is a bow attack.
  5. Weapon: Can block all non-bow attacks, based on skill, type of weapon, 1h vs 2h, and blocking bonus of weapon (sometimes called AC as well).
