Description[edit]
This massive steel shield is nearly as tall as you are. In most situations, it provides the indicated shield bonus to your AC. However, you can instead use it as total cover, though you must give up your attacks to do so. The shield does not, however, provide cover against targeted spells; a spellcaster can cast a spell on you by targeting the shield you are holding. You cannot bash with a vanguard shield, nor can you use your shield hand for anything else.
When employing a vanguard shield in combat, you take a –2 penalty on attack rolls because of the shield’s encumbrance.
