The largest of the shields, tower shields provide high SH, but with significant penalties. High Shields skill and/or strength can reduce these. While wielding a tower shield, you can block a maximum of 4 attacks per turn. They are too large for Spriggans or Kobolds to use at all.
Egos
They can be found with the following egos:
Shield egos are relatively rare. Of the egos, reflection and protection are the most common. You can occasionally find cold resistance and fire resistance in Ice caves and Volcanos, respectively.

History
- Prior to 0.31, shields did not have a maximum number of blocks per turn. Instead, the more blocks you made per turn, the less likely the next block was to be made.
- Prior to 0.28, tower shields had a base EV penalty of 5, negated completely by 25 Shields skill.
- Tower shields were known as "large shields" until 0.25.
