Bound Wooden Shield

In-Game Description

A shield with an unusual design.
Found in the Undead Purgatory.
The chains and spikes wrapped around the
shield cause bleeding, but weaken the shield's
effectiveness.

Accessories that are added to a weapon
for the sole purpose of tormenting foes
can often detract from the weapon's
natural effectiveness.

Availability

• Sold by Chancellor Wellager for 8,000 souls after defeating the Looking Glass Knight.
• Part of the preorder bonus, received after character creation. Cannot be sold or thrown away.

General Information

Image	Damage	Aux Effects	Counter Strength	Poise Damage	Durability	Weight	Stats Needed Stat Bonuses	Aux Effects Reduction	Damage Reduction	Stability	Enchantable

Notes

• A beat-up Wooden Shield covered in chains, barbs and spikes. Gives up some magic resistance and doubles the weight, but protects a little better from physical damage and does a lot better against bleed effects.
• The shield itself, uniquely, deals thrust damage (with a Bleed effect) when used as a weapon, akin to the Pierce Shield from Dark Souls.
• Paired with the Bound Hand Axe.

The Damage stats for a shield are A / B / C / D / E: A is Physical Damage B is Magical Damage C is Fire Damage D is Lightning Damage E is Dark Damage Most shields deal Strike damage, with a few exceptions. Certain enemies are weak or strong against different damage types.
Counter Strength:	Damage multiplier when hitting an enemy that is performing an action such as attacking. Value of 100 means no extra damage.
Poise Damage:	The ability of the shield to break the poise of an enemy.
Durability:	The durability of the shield. The shield will break when durability reaches 0.
Weight:	The weight of the shield. Note that carrying over 70% of your Equip Weight will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned.
Stats Needed:	Determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the shield effectively. The requirement stats for shields are A / B / C / D: A is the Strength required B is the Dexterity required C is the Intelligence required D is the Faith required While it is possible to use a shield with lower-than-required Strength, your character will suffer a severe penalty to damage reduction.
