Shield (stat): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:41, 9 July 2020

Version 0.25: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This page is about the Shield stat. For the player skill, see Shields (skill).

SH is one of your three physical defenses, along with AC and EV. It allows you to completely negate physical attacks (both melee and ranged) and some magical attacks. Unlike AC and EV, you have no innate SH score. SH gained from wearing a physical shield is governed by the Shields skill; magical shields are unaffected.

You can raise your Shield stat through the following means:

Wearing a shield; types include bucklers, kite shields, and tower shields, in ascending order of effectiveness and cumbrousness
Wearing an amulet of reflection
Having the Large Bone Plates mutation
Using The Shining One's "Divine Shield" ability
Having enough piety for Qazlal Stormbringer's "Storm Shield" ability

For more details, see the Shields page.
