Missile Block
Simple Summary Missile Block: You can block all projectiles with your hands and weapons with no ill effects. (Except Phase/Sphere of Annihilation)
Available to Monk
Type Trait
Effects Trait Effect: Bearer and their carried equipment are immune to all effects of any projectile they block with their hands, wielded melee weapons, or wielded shield. Once blocked, the bearer and their carried equipment are immune to further strikes from that projectile until it stops moving.
V8 Transition Note:
  • Spellballs are projectiles in V9 and are blocked by Missile Block.
  • Missile Block only protects the user and their equipment. Projectiles are no longer ‘nullified’ on contact and may continue to strike other players until its movement is completely halted.
