Shield

While primarily a defensive tool, a shield can also be used as an improvised striking weapon. Shields are the quintessential defensive armament on Roshar, allowing the wielder to brace against incoming attacks even without nearby cover. An expert can use a shield effectively in the offhand while wielding a primary weapon.
