Bulky. This shield can be wielded using one or two hands. When wielding this shield with only one hand, your speed is reduced by 10ft and you have DisADV on Dexterity Checks.Defensive The extra armor this shield provides reduces your offensive capabilities while moving. You make all attack rolls at DisADV if you’ve moved since the start of your last turn. This penalty is reset when you start your turn.
Protective. You can add the shield’s AC bonus to your Dex Saves against effects that cover an area and deal damage.
