'''Bucklers''' are the smallest kind of [[shield]]. Although they offer significantly less defense than the larger shields, the attack and spellcasting penalties they cause are negligible. You can also improve their effectiveness by raising your [[Shields skill]], by improving your [[dexterity]], or by [[enchant]]ing them. Bucklers are the only shields that [[spriggan]]s can wield, but [[ogre]]s and [[troll]]s find them too small to handle.

They can be found with the following egos:

Egos such as cold and fire resistance are fairly rare, usually only found in mini branches such as the Volcano or through a scroll of acquirement.
