{{flavour|Weapon: It grants its wielder temporary protection when it strikes (+7 to AC).<br>
Shield: It protects its wearer from harm (+3 to AC).}}

The '''protection''' [[brand]]/[[ego]] does the following:
*On [[weapon]]s, whenever an enemy is hit, the wielder gains +7 AC for 3-4 turns.<ref>{{source ref|0.30.1|player.cc|8402}}</ref> Further attacks will increase the duration, to a max. of 5 turns at a time.
*On [[shield]]s, grants a permanent +3 AC bonus.

==Desirability==
As a weapon brand, protection's extra AC can be useful in the early/mid game. However, since the AC boost never increases, it's likely worth replacing later on.

Shields of protection are objectively stronger than plain shields. A resistance may be more desirable, but since shield [[ego]]s are rare, a shield of protection might be the best option available for a long time.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.19]], weapons of protection provided a passive bonus (+5 AC) instead of a temporary +7 AC on hit.
*Prior to [[0.6]], ranged weapons would generate with the protection brand instead of [[Evasion (brand)|evasion]].
