Large Shield

Large Shields, which are also called the kite, tower, or body shields, offer the most complete defense of any of the four standard shield designs. Covering nearly the entire profile of an average humanoid, these shields are among the heaviest and most cumbersome equipment available. Like other three types of shields, large shields can be found in three different colors. They are made from wood and/or metal. Large shields provide a -1 bonus to armor class and an additional -1 bonus against missiles and piercing attacks. They require 15 Strength to wield.
These shields have a weight of 15 lbs., and (due to lack of training in handling them,) they cannot be wielded by bards, druids, mages or thieves. Large shields are widely available in armory stores like the Candlekeep Inn, Thunderhammer Smithy, Nashkel Store, Ulgoth's Beard Inn and many others.
