 ==Description==
-Bracers are a form of [[shield]] that are worn on the forearms, making them unique in that they allow for both performance of [[two weapon combat]] and [[wield]]ing of [[two-handed]] weapons. They do not reduce a [[Monk]]'s [[to-hit]] when attacking while unarmed, or suppress the extra attacks of Monks and other [[hero]]es that are at Grand Master [[skill]] in [[martial arts]] like normal shields do&mdash;they also do not prevent [[staggering blow]]s from sufficient skill in [[bare-handed combat]], or prevent [[shattering blow]]s from a [[Samurai]] wielding a [[katana]]. Bracers also gain lower bonuses to [[AC]] from the [[Shield (skill)|shield]] [[skill]] and cannot be used to shield bash, though blocking attacks with them still trains the skill. Bracers are non-bulky shields akin to the [[small shield]] for [[spellcasting]] purposes.
+Bracers are a form of [[shield]] that are [[worn]] on the forearms, making them unique in allowing for both performance of [[two weapon combat]] and [[wield]]ing of [[two-handed]] weapons while wearing a set. Worn bracers do not reduce a [[Monk]]'s [[to-hit]] when attacking while unarmed, nor do they suppress the extra unarmed attacks of Monks and other [[hero]]es that are at Grand Master [[skill]] in [[martial arts]] like normal shields do&mdash;they also do not prevent [[staggering blow]]s from sufficient skill in [[bare-handed combat]] or prevent [[shattering blow]]s from a [[Samurai]] wielding a [[katana]]. Bracers also gain lower bonuses to [[AC]] from the [[Shield (skill)|shield]] [[skill]] and cannot be used to shield bash, though blocking attacks with them still trains the skill&mdash;the AC bonus given from the shield skill is +1 for each skill level, up to a maximum of +4 at Master skill. Bracers are treated as non-bulky shields akin to the [[small shield]] for [[spellcasting]] purposes.
 There are three different types of bracers:
