Captain's Wheel
Rare
On your third turn of a combat, right after the start-of-turn Block wipe, the Wheel gives you 18 Block, so the 18 lasts through the enemy phase that follows. The amount is flat: Dexterity does not raise it. It triggers once per fight, on turn 3 only, and the count restarts every combat.
