The player is able to wear multiple shields, but the bonus to blocking is not a linear increase. In the event of a melee attack, the game will roll a 50% chance on each shield one by one. If one succeeds, then the attack is blocked. This means that any additional shield will only be rolled for if the first 50% retuns a failure. With no additional skills, this only increases block chance by <math>0.50^{n} \times 0.5</math>, with <math>n</math> being the additional number of shields. | The player is able to wear multiple shields, but the bonus to blocking is not a linear increase.
