{{flavour|A small piece of wood and metal, to be strapped on one arm for defence. It is cumbersome to wear, and impedes the evasion, spellcasting ability, and attack speed of of the wearer. These penalties will be reduced and eventually eliminated with increased Shields skill.}}

'''Bucklers''' are the smallest kind of [[shield]], with the least [[SH]] bonus but the least encumbrance. Most characters will receive tiny penalties from a buckler, even at 0 Shields skill. While wielding a buckler, you can [[Shields#Blocking|block]] a maximum of 2 attacks per turn. They are the only type of shield that [[Spriggan]]s can handle, but they are too small for [[Oni]] and [[Troll]]s to use.

==Egos==
They can be found with the following [[ego]]s:
*[[Reflection]]
*[[Protection]]
*[[Cold resistance]]
*[[Fire resistance]]
*[[Poison resistance]]
*[[Positive energy]]
*[[Resistance_(ego)|Resistance]]

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 cave]]s and [[Volcano]]s, 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]], bucklers' penalties were negated completely by 4 Shields skill.
*Shield penalties increased in [[0.27]].
