Shields
Shields are used while in parry stance and need to be held in your off hand. They are good for deflecting melee and especially missile attacks.
There are 4 [3?] types of shields in Unwritten Legends:
Buckler
A smaller shield that requires little skill and little strength to use effectively.
Kite Shield
A triangular shaped shield that covers more of the body than the buckler, but also requires more skill and strength to wield.
Tower Shield
A rectangular shield that covers most of the body but requires a good deal of strength to use.
