Blocking Question

Jeminai · 08-16-2010, 08:01 PM

In the RAW it states clearly that a character only gets one block per turn.

Would it be unbalancing to allow multiple blocks and applying penalties to subsequent blocks the same way they are done with multiple parries?

ie:
Block 1.....no penalty
Block 2..... -4 to block
Block 3.....-8 to block

and so on

I understand that a character with Weapon Master: Broadsword and Shield (or any type of WM that includes shield) would be able to halve the penalty but is this necessarily unbalanced?
