Shields are an ancient way of protecting your vital bits. They're also utilitarian: some people would beat on their shields to insult their opponents or raise morale of troops. Larger shields make a good impromptu resting place or sled.
Shields don't give any bonuses to your armor score. Instead, you can use a shield to perform a Parry. Shields provide a bonus to your Defense Roll when parrying. If you put ranks in the Weapon Skill for your shield (each type of shield — light and heavy — has its own skill) as per usual, you can add these ranks into your parry Defense Roll.
On your turn, you can also make an attack with a shield. Shields, their bonus to Parry, Hurt, and AP to use are listed in the Equipment chapter.
