+A shield is the one piece of armour you hold, and it protects you exactly +as much as you are currently holding it up. Raised, it adds its points +to what it covers and it is the only armour you can also defend with — a parry on the +Shield skill. Lowered, it is weight.
+What stops "always raised" being the only answer is that it occupies a hand and you +are shooting around your own shield: ${pc(SHIELD.ranged)} to your own ranged attacks +while it is up. It is obviously right for a containment officer and obviously wrong for +a marksman, which is the point.
+Shields break. A blow the shield absorbed — stopped +outright, or merely dragged down a step — costs it a point of wear for every step the +attack stood above an ordinary success — so an ordinary blow costs +it nothing, a special costs ${shieldWearFor("special")}, and a critical costs +${shieldWearFor("critical")}. At its limit it is firewood: no points, nothing to parry +with, and it drops out of your hand.
