Shields provide a bonus to [[Armor Class]] to decrease the chance of being hit by enemies.
Shields provide a bonus to [[Armor Class]] to decrease the chance of being hit by enemies. A character does not need to be holding the shield visually to get the AC bonus, it just needs to be equipped in their melee weapon slot. I.E. A fighter that is currently holding and using a bow will still get an AC bonus of the shield that is equipped in their melee weapon slot.


Taking the [[Feats|Feat]] “Moderately Armored” can grant you Proficiency with Shields in addition to Medium Armor, as long as you already had Light armor proficiency beforehand.
