'''Shields''' are items used primarly primarily for blocking incoming blows. However, they are not as useful as it might sound, for they are rather cumbersome and no shield bashing is implemented, while you can both attack and parry with all weapons. On the other hand, shields have a very high [[roundness]] and if you use an accurate shield made of wood or light metal, you will block much more attacks than you can parry with any weapon. Don't use heavy, inaccurate shields, though.
