{{name}} is a [[Shield]] | {{name}} is a [[Shield]] skill that unlocks upon purchasing the base skill of the same name. "Shield" in this article will refer to any shield or buckler that uses the Shield skill. If a creature does not have {{name}} they have a base 25% chance to block with an equipped shield. If the creature does have {{name}}, they have a 50% passive chance to have their shield's {{AV}}AV bonus added to their total {{AV}}AV calculation for one melee attack. If the weapon used is [[psionic]], blocking adds to the creature's [[MA]] instead. | ||

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.
