Golden Falcon Shield

In-Game Description

Small shield used by Volgen Falconers.
Appears like a glistening gold falcon from afar.

Domestic Volgen soldiers are infamously timid,
so it is no wonder that this fierce band of mercenary
falconers was hired to compensate.

The falconers are rumored to be untrusting of others,
and demanding of prompt, full payment. But no wonder;
they deliver much more than they are paid, and are well aware of it.

Availability

• Shaded Woods treasure, behind the Flexile Sentry.
• Falconer drop.

Certain enemies are weak or strong against different damage types.

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.
Aux Effect:	The Aux Effect stat dictates how effective the shield will be at causing the effect. The Aux Effect stats for a shield are A / B: A is Poison Effect B is Bleed Effect
