Shield

30px Shield creates a one-time-use shield for a target that nullifies damage once up to a percentage of the caster's maximum HP.

• If more damage is taken than the shield can withstand, the shield will fail and full damage will be taken. (For example: taking a 1,001-damage hit while having a shield that can withstand 1,000 damage will cause the unit to receive 1,001 damage, not 1 damage.)
• If a damaging attack that would have dealt an Affliction is nullified by a shield, the Affliction will be nullified as well.
• If a non-damaging attack deals an Affliction, the shield will not nullify that Affliction.

Shields usually cannot stack with other Shields, but a variation called a Divergent Shield can stack with regular shields. Divergent Shields otherwise act the same as regular shields.

Additionally, there is another variation called a Life Shield that works slightly differently from a regular shield:

• Life Shields use a direct HP value instead of a percentage. More HP is added to this value every time this shield is stacked, up to a maximum of 70% of the caster's maximum HP.
• If more damage is taken than the Life Shield can withstand, the Life Shield will nullify as much damage as it can before the adventurer takes damage. Since the adventurer still ultimately takes damage, Afflictions will not be nullified.
• If a damaging attack that would have dealt an Affliction is nullified by the Life Shield, the Affliction will be nullified as well.
• If a non-damaging attack deals an Affliction, the Life Shield will not nullify that Affliction.
