It is made of [[iron]], and appears as a '''dark green shield''' when [[unidentified]].<br /> <br /> ==Generation==<br /> Venom shields make up {{frac|500}} (0.2%) of all armor that is randomly generated on the ground, in general [[shop]]s or as [[death drop]]s. Used armor dealerships and antique weapon outlets can also stock venom shields.<br /> <br /> ==Description==<br /> While [[worn]], a venom shield grants 2 base [[AC]] and [[poison resistance]]. Despite its material, the venom shield is not considered bulky armor, although it still applies the same level of [[spellcasting]] penalty as most other shields due to its [[weight]] of 50 aum.{{refsrc|src/spell.c|1313-L1323|version=SporkHack|name=penalty|comment=extra shield penalty only applies for shields heavier than 30 aum}}<br /> <br /> ==Strategy==<br /> The venom shield is fairly valuable for [[heroes]] that want to maintain maximum protection against sources of [[poison]] damage and have not yet built up enough [[Partial intrinsic|intrinsic poison resistance]] from eating corpses. Identification of the shield is trivial due to its unique unidentified appearance.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> {{variant-343}}<br /> [[Category:SporkHack shields]]</div>
