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.
Shields provide a bonus to [[Armor Class]] to decrease the chance of being hit by enemies. A creature doesn't need to be actively holding the equipped shield to get the AC bonus; it's enough that the shield is equipped in their melee off-hand slot. I.e., a fighter with a sword and shield in its melee weapon slots and a longbow in its ranged weapon slots will benefit from the shield's AC bonus even while using the bow.


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.
