Shield of Harmony

The Shield of Harmony +2 is introduced in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, as well as a possible appearance in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.
The is a small shield which also provides immunity to charm and confusion-like effects or to being held. It provides an armor class bonus of three.b
==Gameplay ==
While the shield is equipped, the wielder's armor class rating is improved by 3 points, except for Missile damage attacks, which the shield offers no additional protection against.
The shield also confers the bearer with a "Mind Shield" icon on their portrait - the Mind Shield will offer the following Status Effects and spell immunities:
*Charmed
*Confused
*Hold creature 2
*Paralyze
*Confusion (wizard)
*Confusion (priest)
==Notes==
In the Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, many enemies will adjust their combat AI if their target is equipped with this "mind shield".
In the original Baldur's Gate II, in addition to the mage class, characters with the enchanter kit aren't able to use this shield.
==Locations==
===Shadows of Amn===
*In Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, the Shield of Harmony can only be obtained as a quest reward for either dealing with the Trademeet genies or having a foul deed done.
===Throne of Bhaal===
*Possible starting equipment for a newly created character (i.e. not imported) in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.
* Equipped by a Knight of the Order during the Pocket Plane challenge Retribution.
==Bugs==
* Though small shields usually offer "no protection against missile attacks", the Shield of Harmony does not completely negate the basic armor class bonus for such weapons in the original Baldur's Gate II, due to a typo; this is fixed in the Enhanced Edition.
