When you wield a shield, every haphazard blow is turned aside, and even strikes aimed at your allies cannot easily penetrate your defence. You gain the following benefits:
Stand behind me. As a reaction when you or any ally within 5 feet are attacked, you may enter a defensive stance until the start of your next turn. You and every ally within 5 feet of you are granted the benefits of half-cover while this stance is active. Any forced movement breaks this stance. On your first turn after using this reaction, your Speed is halved.
Solid as the mountain. While wielding a shield, any forced movement you suffer is reduced by 10 feet.
