Description

This talent gives you a +25 bonus to your Shields skill when using a tower or kite shield. This bonus will not show up in your score, but is instead added afterwards (meaning that it isn’t counted towards improvement difficulty or skill maximum). Note also that your shield will take half damage when struck in combat, and will have its encumbrance reduced by one.
