Shields
MUNDANE SHIELDS
Shields provide a more active defensive option. When you have a shield equipped and a struck for damage, you may spend a single block points to reducing the incoming damage from the attack by the shield's Block Value. The main advantage to shields, despite their limited use, is that they are capable of reducing elemental damage in additional to physical damage.
You start each battle with all of your block points from your equipped shield.
All shields incur a weight penalty, and you may only equip one at a time.
| Gold Cost | Shield | Weight Cost | Block Value | Block Points |
| 20 | Buckler | 2WGT | Reduce all incoming damage by 3. | Three Blocks per battle. |
| 25 | Standard | 4WGT | Reduce all incoming damage by 7. | Two Blocks per battle. |
| 35 | Tower | 6WGT | Reduce incoming damage by 18. | One Block per battle. |
