What is a block's OCV?

A character who wants to Block must declare his intention before his attacker makes an Attack Roll. To attempt a Block, he must make an Attack Roll against his opponent’s OCV (not DCV). This is his opponent’s OCV as modified by the attack the opponent is making and any other factors, not his unmodified base OCV.

 

 

What is used for the OCV of the character making the block?  Specifically, for a "martial block" with a weapon, is it still the blocker's base OCV or can it include some skill levels in that weapon?

Skill levels apply as normal.  Skill levels with Swords could be applied to the character's OCV when using a sword to block.
