'''Shields''' are items that can be equipped in a [[character]]'s [[left hand]] (sometimes called the "offhand") to increase his or her [[armor (rating)|armor]]. This Armor is applied regardless of [[Armor#Basics|hit location]] or direction the character is facing. The maximum base Armor for a shield is 16.

'''Shields''' are items that can be equipped in your left hand. You can use it to increase your armor for Kung Fu. This is applied to you, reguardless of direction or hit location. Remember, your max is only 16 and we're sad that it can't be 21. So, no drinking with the shield as it won't be able to protect you that well. It can hurt when you fall on it and that's only when you're drunk.

===Attribute Requirements===
  +
Any profession can have a shield, but the ones that would need to use these sheilds are Warriors and Paragons.
Any [[profession]] can equip shields, but most shields have requirements for a minimum rank in the [[warrior]]'s [[Tactics]] or [[Strength]] or the [[paragon]]'s [[Motivation]] or [[Command]] attributes ranging from 0 to 13. Without meeting that requirement, the Armor used is half of the normal Armor value. While shields with the maximum Armor have been observed with requirements as low as 7, maximum Armor shields with [[inscription]] slots have only been observed with attribute requirements as low as 8, and green shields, collector shields and crafted shields with the maximum Armor always have an attribute requirement of 9. Shields with a requirement of 0 and armor as high as 10 are available as [[loot]].

There are four main types of modifiers for shields: damage reduction, [[health]] bonuses, Armor bonuses, and +1 attribute. A shield may have up to two modifiers. The available shield modifiers are listed in full in a [[Weapon modifier#Shields and focus items|separate article]]. Shields from the [[Nightfall]] campaign have [[salvage]]able inscriptions and [[weapon upgrade|upgrade]]s instead of fixed modifiers.

There are four main types of modifiers for shields: damage reduction, [[health]] bonuses, Armor bonuses, and +1 attribute. Your sheild may have no more than two modifiers. The Damage reduction is no more than a -5 and the chance is no more than 20%. For this type, you can only have one modifier. The Health is no more than +60 in the max value, but it has other types of values as well. Health can only be one as it doesn't stack with other health modifiers for your Kung Fu. For Armor modifiers, you might have conditional bonuses. For these, a sheild can only have one modifier. Now the +1 attribute modifier can only be one as well and it has up to 20% chance skills usage.
 
=== Damage reduction ===
 
Shields may have a received [[physical damage]] -''x'' modifer. These always have specific preconditions, such as being [[enchantment|enchanted]]. A shield can have up to -2 (while in a [[stance]]), -2 (while enchanted), -3 (while [[hex]]ed), or -5 (Chance: up to 20%).
 
 
=== Health ===
 
Shields may have a [[health]] +''x'' modifier. These modifiers can be conditional, like the damage reduction modifiers, or unconditional. The maximum values are +45 (while in a Stance), +45 (while enchanted), +60 (while hexed), or +30 unconditional. There can be a maximum of one health modifier.
 
 
=== Armor ===
 
Shields may have conditional [[Armor (rating)|Armor]] bonuses. The maximum such bonus is +10 against a specific [[damage type]] or [[:Category:Bestiary|monster type]]. A shield may have at most one Armor modifier.
 
 
=== +1 attribute ===
 
Shields may have a +1 [[attribute]] modifier. It has up to a 20% chance while using skills. The possible attributes that can have a +1 modifier on shields are most attributes of [[caster]]s, [[Tactics]], and [[Strength]]. A shield may have at most one +1 attribute modifier.

#Some [[Aegis (shield)|Aegis shields]] have recently been observed that require [[Tactics]] and not [[Strength]]. See [[Talk:Shield]] for details.
 
#[[Wooden Buckler]]s with a [[Strength]] requirement are only available from Canthan [[Collector]]s, all other [[Wooden Buckler]]s have [[Tactics]] requirements.

''Note'': unlike weapons such as [[Bow]]s - the shield type has no influence on the stats of the shield, apart from the required attribute. Which visual appearance you prefer is merely a matter of taste: a [[Crude Shield]] with [[Armor (rating)|Armor]] +12 is just as good as an [[Eternal Shield]] with Armor +12. That said, certain shield types are more likely to come with higher AL; for example, a [[Shield of the Wing]] is usually Armor +8 or higher and will require [[Tactics]], and [[Eternal Shield]]s nearly always have Armor +15 or 16 and require [[Strength]].
 
 
==Paragon shield types==
 
[[Paragon]]s also use shields. They have the same maximum armor value and bonuses as [[Warrior]] shields, and can be tied to the [[Command]] and [[Motivation]] attributes.
