The '''elven shield''' is a kind of [[shield]], usually found on elves. Like all elven items, it can be safely enchanted up to +7 instead of +5, so for pure AC purposes it's a better choice than any other kind of shield. It is significantly lighter than the [[dwarvish roundshield]] and [[large shield]] and cannot rust, so it makes a good replacement for either of those items.
