Shield Size



Asked: 2000.11.02
Name: SeeYa
Question Title: Shield Size
Category: Items
Question: Does the physical size of the shield you use have any effect on your protection? For example would a AL:60 buckler provide the exact same protection as a AL:60 tower shield?

Answer: No, physical size does not affect the protection values. So yes, the buckler in your example provides the same level of protection as the tower.
