'''Shield Specialization''' is a maneuver system under the [[:Category:Player System Manager|Player System Manager]] similar to [[Combat Maneuvers]] for [[warriors]], [[rogues]], and [[paladins]]. Each rank in [[Shield Use]] provides one '''Shield Training Point''', which can be used to train in various shield-based abilities and attacks. The {{boldmono|[[SHIELD (verb)|SHIELD]]}} verb provides access to this system.

Shield size also matters for using your abilities in the following ways:<br>
Chance to hit: Small shields have a 10% bonus to hit, medium 0%, large -5%, tower -10%.<br>
Bonus to end roll: Tower shields have a 10% bonus to endroll if they hit, large +5%, medium 0%, small -10%.<br>

A character may not devote more than one (1) Shield Training Point per level to a single skill.
