=== Shields ===
: Shields have a percentage chance to block any melee attack, based on skill-level and class of shield, up to a maximum of 75%. Additionally shields are effective against arrows when you are facing the archer. Wielding a shield and weapon on the same left arm causes the weapon not to be used. Certain weapons are two-handed and will require that any shield be unequipped.
:* [[Large shield]]s - Have the greatest base percentage to block with the highest penalty against weapon speed.
