After a melee attack, one shield that the defender is holding will be chosen and will have a 50% or (75% if Deft Blocking) of blocking the attack. If this chance fails, it will not be rerolled again. | After a melee attack, one shield that the defender is holding will be chosen and will have a 50% or (75% if Deft Blocking) of blocking the attack.

If multiple shields are worn, they will only be used if attacked by multiple melee attacks in one turn. Which shield blocks the first attack will be the one with the highest AV, but if a shield's total attempts to block attacks that turn is exhausted, it will use the other shield. | If multiple shields are worn, they will only be used if attacked by multiple melee attacks in one turn.

For a single attack, each shield rolls to block the attack. However, it can only be blocked once. This means that there was diminishing returns. Having two shields means the second shield will only activate if the first shield did not block, and so on. | For a single attack, each shield rolls to block the attack.
