(Combat)
Skill Shield Use
This automatic skill is invoked whenever your character is in combat. All blows which are about to land on your character are checked against a complicated system of relationships, including the "shield use" skill. A successful shield use can get your shield up, blocking a blow from hitting a more sensitive area of the body. Note that it may not negate all damage, but it will reduce it from what it would have done.
Note:
Wielding the shield (i.e., "ep shield") increases your character's chance of success.
