The best shield is a sharp counterargument.
You have trained to fight in close quarters. You may use INT instead of STR or AGI when making Parry Defense Actions. Additionally, when you successfully Parry a Melee Attack, you may immediately make a Melee Attack against the attacker as part of the same Bonus Action - this attack counts as a consecutive attack for FCS degradation. Usable with any weapon you are wielding, including spell-summoned weapons.
