Shields are a primarily defensive item and, in general, are handy for anyone with a free arm. In order to equip a shield, a character must possess the Shield Proficiency. Having the proficiency also grants them access to Block and Shield Bash activated abilities.
Mage Wars RPG has three different shield sizes. These are used in calculating block chance and speed penalties.
- Buckler
- Kite
- Tower
Each shield has a base value that is multiplied by the wearer's Shield Proficiency to determine the AC-bonus added.
