<h2>W SHIELDS</h2>
|
|
<p>Shields must be equipped in a character's off-hand slot and further enhance defenses.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each shield entry uses the format below and contains a variety of information:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>SHIELD COST DEFENSE M. DEFENSE INITIATIVE</strong></li>
|
|
<li>Runic Shield E 150 z +2 +2 -</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>No Quality.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Understanding Shield Information</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The shield's name, and whether it is a martial shield (E).</li>
|
|
<li>The shield's cost in zenit.</li>
|
|
<li>The increase to Defense and Magic Defense granted by the shield. This is in addition to any benefits granted by the armor you may have equipped.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>For a list of all the basic shields available in the game, see page 133.</p>

<h2>Armor Concepts</h2>
|
|
<p>Martial and non-martial armors influence a character's Defense and Magic Defense scores in different ways.</p>
|
|
<p>Remember that regardless of which armor you are wearing, shields always add to it — if you have a free slot, it's never a bad idea to equip a shield.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Lighter armors</strong> give you Defenses based on your current Dexterity and Insight die sizes plus a small bonus. They are great if your Attributes are already high, but can become less effective if you suffer status effects.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Martial armors</strong> set your Defense score to a fixed value, regardless of your current Dexterity die size. They offer reliable protection, but also take a heavy toll on your Initiative.</li>
|
|
</ul>
