Template:Shield Type
Usage
{{Shield Type|<type>}}
Summarizes the shield type, a value that affects block rates and damage reduction based on the 'size' of the shield. Shield size can be mined from dat files if otherwise unknown. On desktop browsers, this comes with mouse-over help text. The template also links to the Shields page, which further explains the relationship between Shield Size, Block Rates, Shield Skill and Blocked Damage Reduction.
Instead of using the shield size name for <type>, you may also use the shield size number.
