The character makes a block attempt against an attack of an enemy. The character makes a contested ability check. The character may use [Vigor](Vigor.md), [Competence](Competence.md), or [Stamina](Stamina.md). The attacker may use [Prowess](Prowess.md), [Competence](Competence.md), or [Authority](Authority.md). If the character succeeds, they may roll their shield’s block rating. They then reduce the amount of damage dealt to them from the opposing source equal to that block rating’s total roll.
