Orichalcum???

Orichalcum???

Event
If you end your turn without Block, gain 3 Block.

At the very start of the end-of-turn sequence it looks at your Block. If it is 0, it flags itself and hands you 3 Block a moment later. The check runs before Plating pays out, so Plating never switches it off; you get both. The 3 Block ignores Dexterity. The real Orichalcum gives 6. It costs 50 Gold at The Merchant???.

When to take Orichalcum???
