Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Ditches Dual-Wielding; Makes Shields So Beautiful.

The Extra Shields are amazing defense objects.

Any Baldur's Gate 3 player will tell you that those included in the "Extra Shields" Mod indicate that mark of a good shield does not only stop damage. Every shield has the Rebuke of the Mighty ability, which lets players deliver 2-8 Force Damage on an opponent striking their armor. They also all have Spell Guard, which gives users Advantage on Saving Throws against spells and any spell attack launched against the shield is rolled at Disadvantage.

Those could be the common skills, but each of the Mod's Shields also provide unique powers to support smart character development and role-playing. Arguably Shield of the Holy Warrior is the best choice since it lets its bear cast Celestial Haste and Reflective Shell and boasts Divine Light to guarantee darkness is never a barrier ever again. Shield of the Noble Knight merits another shout out for its Alert capacity, which gives the user +5 for their Initiative and stops unexpected attacks.

Looks aren't enough to persuade even the most devoted dual-wielder to pick up a shield; but, when they discover the stats these lumps of metal are packing, they will rethink.

The "Extra Shields" Mod is but one of many fan-made creations.
