Shields (Dragon Age II)

For shields in Dragon Age: Origins, see Shields (Origins).

This page lists shields in Dragon Age II.

Bug! On the Xbox 360, every time you change the shield of Hawke or Aveline, the armor value does not decrease from the old shield being removed. As a result, if you swap out two shields repeatedly, you will gain armor continually. The armor rating remains high even after reloading the game.
