Shields are broad pieces of armor strapped to the arm or carried in one hand to provide protection against melee attacks. They add armor bonuses and can be used to block attacks. Blocking with a shield shaves off more damage than blocking with a weapon. Block increases when a shield is used to successfully thwart an attack. The corresponding armor skill also increases.
