A shield is a form of armor carried in the off-hand. Wearing any shield increases spellcasting failure rates, although the penalty is lower for a small shield.[1]
When using a shield, you are unable to wield two-handed weapons or use the #twoweapon skill.
Monster use
Some monsters are generated with (or pick up) and use shields. Of specific note are Archons, Angels and Aleaxes - all Archons are generated with a shield of reflection, whereas Angels and Aleaxes have a 25% chance of having one. This makes using ray-based attacks against them a Bad Idea.
A humanoid pet with suitable capability will pick up and use shields as well, for example a pet Centaur.
