- Mantlets are basically mobile walls.
- Shields do crushing damage to a medium area when attacking.
- Shields come in a razor variety that has a razor sharp edge, allowing it to do cutting damage.
- Shields come in a spiked variety that has sharp protrusions on its surface which will do piercing damage.
- Massive Blow and Precision Strike add small amounts to the deflection rating of a shield.
- Shields can completely deflect or block some unarmed and ranged attacks.
- Shields do not fire off with the activity indicated, i.e. a 15 activity sword with speed of 40 will give 2 attacks, while a shield may only give 1 or none. This is intentional and meant to reflect the defensive nature of shields. Therefore it is unwise to rely on shields for damage output or to make them into guild weapons (like Traveler).
- Shields will not completely block melee weapon attacks, but instead either deflect the damage, absorb some of the impact of the direct hit, or reduce the effectiveness of the hit, largely depending on the weapon used against the shield. Some weapons are designed to reduce the effectiveness of shields, while others just have enough mass that even though the shield blocked the slashing aspect of it, the raw concussion traveled through the shield and into the wielder.
