Block

Strap on a shield and be prepared to get hit! Successfully blocking will reduce some damage you would've otherwise taken.

Chance to block:

 double chance = (defender.Str) / 2500;
 if (chance > 0.20)
    chance = 0.20;
 chance += (defender.Skills.Parry.Value * 0.0045);

Damage reduction modifier:

 double parrymodifier = 0.95;
 double reduce = (defender.Skills.Parry.Value * 0.0015);
 if (reduce > 0.25)
    reduce = 0.25;
 parrymodifier -= reduce;
 double newdamage = (damage * parrymodifier);
