Welcome
Tower Shield in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Erenel
Tower Shield
Armor Uncommon
To wield a tower shield, a creature must be medium or larger and have at least 15 Strength. Its wielder can use their reaction to hide behind it to gain ¾ cover against harmful area-of-effects such as breath weapons or spells, so long as the effect does not travel around corners. If the wielder of the shield is directly between another creature and the effect's origin, that creature gains ½ cover so long as it is of equal or smaller size than the shield's wielder. Straps attach the shield to the wielders arms, reinforcing the handle with a series of leather bands. These shields take an action to don or doff, and enemies have disadvantage when trying to disarm the user.
