Shields (Oblivion)


 * This article is about the armor shield. For information on the shield spells, see Shield (magical).

Shields are broad pieces of armor strapped to the arm or carried in one hand that provide protection against melee attacks. They add defense bonuses and can be used to block attacks. Blocking with a shield will shave off more damage than blocking with just a weapon.
