Armor (shield), uncommon
This small shield is strapped onto a character's forearm. Usage of it requires proficiency in Shields; its magic cannot be triggered by the non-proficient.
It only grants a base +1 bonus to Armor Class (enhanced to +2 with its +1 enchantment), but it does not hinder off-hand usage, so it can be used with two-weapon fighting or a two-handed weapon. Note that certain powers still prohibit shield usage, and those restrictions still apply.
The wearer of this shield can cast the Shield spell on itself. This power can be used once, but regains its ability after a long rest.
Shields require the Utilize action to Don or Doff. You gain the Armor Class benefit of a Shield only if you have training with it.
Notes: Combat, Warding
