Shield Specialization is a maneuver system under the Player System Manager similar to Combat Maneuvers for warriors, rogues, and paladins.

Shield size also matters for using your abilities in the following ways:
Chance to hit: Small shields have a 10% bonus to hit, medium 0%, large -5%, tower -10%.
Bonus to end roll: Tower shields have a 10% bonus to endroll if they hit, large +5%, medium 0%, small -10%.
A character may not devote more than one (1) Shield Training Point per level to a single skill.
