Shield

(Fitness Skill)

This is the use of a shield to block/deflect melee weapon attacks and to prevent low velocity thrown and launched weapons from hitting one in combat.

To be effective a shield must be large enough to provide cover for 25% of the body of the wielder.

The Shield Skill may be used with a Large Cloak or large improvised item (like a Chair) at a reduced level of success (at -4 ranks to success). Cloaks will not work as cover against arrows, and are considered an archaic use of the skill in Jarro.
