I've been wondering what the blocking action (with the shield) does - is your character totally unprotected by armor when not blocking? If you're wearing body armor, but no shield, does blocking do anything? What is its effect in terms of calculating damage?

I, too, have wanted to know exactly what blocking does. How, exactly, is the calculation of damage affected by this?

Experiences = Integrate( Life, {t, birth, death} )

In addition to the above (which I third), can I make a Zelda style shield using blocking (will clarify if needed).
