Offensive Block + Dodging

[Haru]

Ok, so this is coming up in my pbp at the moment, and I'm not sure how to rule. I've trapped a wizard in a spell, an offensive block limiting almost all his actions. He now cast a spell way above the block strength, so he will break free. So far so good, but does the target get a dodge roll against the remaining shifts of the attack? In the case of a defensive block, the case would be clear, it is either the block or the dodge roll, not both. But on the offensive block, I am not that sure how I would rule.

How would you rule, or am I missing something from the rules that already covers that?

Pretty certain that offensive and defensive blocks work the same way.

Why would they work differently?

[Tedronai]

The target of the spell benefits from the strength of the block or their defense roll, whichever is greater.
They do not defend against 'the remaining shifts', but against the entirety of the attack.
Or, to put it another way, just to ensure there's no misunderstandings...defense rolls overlap with blocks; they do no stack.

(the distinction between 'defensive' and 'offensive' makes no difference)

Thanks. I thought so, I just wanted to make sure.

Why would they work differently?

They feel different, that's why I was uncertain.
