• In order to receive TP from being hit, it requires that the unblocked hit would have done more than zero damage. If you would have taken 0 damage (due to an effect such as Stoneskin or Phalanx), no TP will be gained even if your shield blocks.
• Prevents spell interruption from attacks that are blocked with the shield during spell casting. Any attacks that are not blocked by the shield still have a chance to interrupt.
• It is speculated that on shield block, one would gain 1 extra TP with Shield Mastery I, 2 TP with Shield Mastery II, and 3 TP with Shield Mastery III.
• Adoubeur's Pavise adds exactly 1 TP when blocking for 6 TP total. Store TP does not play a role.

• Adoubeur's Pavise

• Koenig Schaller/Kaiser Schaller (with Augments)
• Reverence Gauntlets +1
