A shield serves as a vital piece of personal defense, traditionally wielded in one hand while the other carries a weapon or tool. Whether forged from sturdy metal or crafted from reinforced wood, a shield functions as more than just a physical barrier. In battle, it deflects blades, halts arrows, and absorbs the impact of crushing blows. Regardless of its make, using a shield grants a +2 bonus to the wearer’s Armor Class, but only one shield can be effectively used at a time.
