Characters with no shield block skill will not be able to defend themselves well with a shield. All classes may learn shield block, but only warriors and clerics are good at it. Beware, flails ignore shield blocking attempts, and whips have an easier time getting around them. Axes may split shields in two. <br> </body> </html>
