As a universal symbol of defense, a shield wards against a variety of effects and is associated with guardianship, vigilance, and guidance. You can choose only shields with a Bulk of 1 or less as an implement, which allows you to position your shield while managing your esoterica.
You gain the Shield Block general feat. If your shield implement would be reduced to 0 Hit Points, it’s instead reduced to 1 Hit Point, its circumstance bonus to AC when you Raise a Shield is reduced by 1 (this can’t reduce the bonus below 0), and you can’t Shield Block with your shield implement until it loses the broken condition. You can still use your shield as an implement when it has the broken condition.
At 5th level, whenever you Exploit Vulnerability, you can also Raise a Shield as a free action.
When you have your shield implement raised, you gain a status bonus to your saves against spells and other magic effects equal to your circumstance bonus to AC from your shield. In addition, damage you take as a result of a spell or magical effect while your Shield is Raised can trigger your Shield Block reaction, even if the damage isn’t physical.
Every drop of blood you spill bolsters your shield.
