Shields provide a bonus to [[Armor Class]] to decrease the chance of being hit by enemies. A creature doesn't need to be actively holding the equipped shield to get the AC bonus; it's enough that the shield is equipped in their melee off-hand slot. I.e., a fighter with a sword and shield in its melee weapon slots and a longbow in its ranged weapon slots will benefit from the shield's AC bonus even while using the bow. | Shields provide a bonus to [[Armor Class]] to decrease the chance of being hit by enemies.

Choosing the [[Feat]] “Moderately Armored” grants Proficiency with Shields in addition to Medium Armor. However, you must already have Light Armor Proficiency to be able to choose that Feat. | |||
