Dodge and Roll

SilentSkillCommon
Gain 4 Block.
Next turn, gain 4 Block.
  • Effect: one energy for 4 Block now, 6 upgraded, and the same again next turn.
  • Dexterity: the code records the amount you actually gained, after Dexterity, Frail or any doubling, and gives exactly that number back at the start of your next turn right after your old Block clears, without applying modifiers a second time.
  • Example: with 2 Dexterity that is 6 now and 6 later, with Frail it is 3 and 3.

When to take Dodge and Roll

Act 1 filler when the Silent lacks Block; 8 total for 1 energy is fair, split across two turns. It gets better with Footwork, but skip it by Act 3.
