Abdel's Trusted Shield

Abdel's Trusted Shield is a very rare Shield that allows the wearer to cast Protection from Missiles once per Short Rest, as well as use Shield Bash.

Attached to this shield is a faded note. 'G, I've found the best defence against an arrow is to be the one behind the bow - but this shield also does the trick in a pinch. Yours, AA'

Notes

Apparently, Golbraith was a friend of Abdel Adrian, the canonical identity of Gorion's Ward, the main character of the previous installments of the Baldur's Gate series. Some details about this can be read about in the book Confidant of a Duke found on a bookshelf beside Golbraith. However, neither Golbraith nor this shield appear in any previous games.
