Mechanics

The downside of -(10-20)% to maximum Block chance is offset by Block Chance is Lucky.

For example:
You have 65% chance of blocking and 35% chance of not blocking. If the roll to block fails, the chance to block is rolled again due to the Lucky keyword. This new roll is also 65% chance of blocking out of 35%. 65% of 35% is 22.75%. This means there is an extra 22.75% chance of blocking on top of the 65% you already have, so you have roughly 87.75% chance of blocking damage. This new block chance effectively exceeds the standard block cap of 75%.

For reference:

X To Maximum Block Chance	New Block Chance Cap	Effective Block Chance
-7% (Corruption)	68%	90%
-8% (Corruption)	67%	89%
-9% (Corruption)	66%	88%
-10%	65%	88%
-11%	64%	87%
-12%	63%	86%
-13%	62%	86%
-14%	61%	85%
-15%	60%	84%
-16%	59%	83%
-17%	58%	82%
-18%	57%	82%
-19%	56%	81%
-20%	55%	80%

Note: Block chance above 0.5% will round up to the nearest whole percent in favor of the character.
