Items » Armor » Shields

**Shields** are defensive tools designed to deflect blows and projectiles, providing extra protection in combat. When you wield a shield, you **gain a bonus** to your **Armor Class (AC)**. You can only benefit from **one shield at a time**, and you must be **proficient with shields** to avoid penalties when using them. ## Shields Table
