Phoenix Parma

it was retrieved it was mysteriously unscathed,
save a degree of discoloration.

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.
