The dwarvish roundshield is a kind of shield. When unidentified, it appears as a large round shield.
Generation
Dwarvish roundshields are commonly found on well-equipped dwarves, especially in the Gnomish Mines.
Effects
When worn, it provides 2 AC. It is one of two shields to provide 2 AC, with the other being the shield of reflection.
Strategy
The dwarvish roundshield is likely to be the first 2 AC shield the player finds; despite this, it is very heavy compared to most shields and provides no special properties, so it should be swapped for another shield as soon as possible. Both the common small shield and elven shield are more viable, as they are wooden and cannot be rusted or corroded; the small shield is also incredibly light and interferes much less with spell-casting, while the elven shield can safely be enchanted to +7.
