Desirability

The brooch of Shielding is basically an amulet of reflection with a higher-than-normal SH value. It's useful, especially with a shield or other source of SH, but you might prefer some other artefact amulet with resistances or other properties. It is the shield equivalent of the rings of Robustness and Phasing.

History

Prior to 0.18, the brooch of Shielding was an amulet of warding with AC+4 and EV+4.
