Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
This page is about the skill. For general information see Shields.
The Shields skill denotes how effective your character is at blocking melee or ranged attacks with shields. A higher Shields skill raises your SH score and decreases the penalties to your EV, spellcasting, and attack speed. At 27 skill, all penalties will be removed.
For information on item use, see Shields.
