Any chance an answer has surfaced for this? Mythic guardian's sacrificial shield has the same issues, applies broken even if a shield doesn't take damage
The question I could really use and answer to is can a character keep using these skills to block attacks or crits, with broken items. And if so what happens if a broken item suffers the broken condition a second time; is it destroyed or just nothing? In all but a few cases conditions are not accumulative i.e. you cant get more stunned more blinded, but a few do escalate like fear so it's a real rules toss up and I'd love some insight if anyone has some.
