Summary

SUMMARY: Balance "Add BLOCK_WHILE_WORN flag to Elbow Pads"

Purpose of change

Elbow pads are hard enough to block attacks with martial arts. This isn't done without difficulty though, elbow pads still only have 30% coverage so you'll really only be blocking that damage 30% of the time.

Describe the solution

Add BLOCK_WHILE_WORN flag to elbow pads

Describe alternatives you've considered

Not add it

Testing

Spawn elbow pads

What makes you think elbow pads are suitable for blocking? Elbows are something that needs to be protected, not something to put in harm's way.

elbow blocks have been a staple technique for top-level boxers for decades

Because blocking with elbows is valid and even often used (source above)

Your source treats all blocks and parries using the forearm below the glove area as "elbow blocks".

Adding to that, I believe those kind of elbow blocks are already represented in the boxing martial art, and a lay person wouldn't put elbows in harm's way.
