Amulet of Stendarr

[Charlemagne]

The description for the Amulet of Stendarr says something like, "+10% blocking with your shield". Does this amulet then not give +10% blocking if you are using a two-handed weapon to block? The blessing of Stendarr you can get at shrines is similar.

Hrm I don't think the requirement for the bonus is all that hard to figure out I mean if you're using a 2H wepaon you're not really using a shield to get the bonus are you?

Yeah but this is precisely why I'm asking. According to UESP, the net effect is "Fortify Block" which therefore should apply to blocking with 2H as well (but then they proceed to cite the description). It might be that the description which is only text, is wrong but in game you do get the +10... But I haven't seen this confirmed either in UESP itself or in TES wiki.

I'm a little late but, in case you don't know already, yes Amulet of Stendarr does affect Two Handed blocks as well as one handed. Just tested with a bandit wielding a steel war hammer using a running power attack. With an amulet of stendarr equipped his attack did 22 points of damage, without it he did 24 points of damage. Mathmatically 22 is 90% of 24.
