== Part 1: Weapon Blocking Setup ==

:'''There are 3 golden rules to blocking:'''
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<pre>
  1. You can only ever block with one weapon, period. If you are holding two weapons, only the one in your left hand can block. The one in your right will not help you block in ANY way.
  
  2. Shields held in the left hand will block, and will still allow you to block with the weapon in your right hand at FULL EFFECTIVENESS for 1h blockers and HALF effectiveness for 2h blockers. Basically, with a 1hander, you add your shield AC to your weapon's AC.
  
  3. Unlike 1-hand blockers, 2-hand blockers will not block AT ALL when put in the left hand. They must be held in the right hand. On top of that, if you aren't using both hands (if stick any non-weapon item in your left hand), your blocking will be dramatically reduced. 
 
 If the item you put in your left hand is a *weapon*, then it becomes your blocker instead (Rule 1.)
