Spartan Shields Shield Types: Standard vs Tower

The mod splits its shields into two families that look and behave differently.

• Standard shields - the everyday blocking tools. They are the same shape and speed as the vanilla shield but come in every material tier, with rising durability and protection. Most of your shields will be standard shields.
• Tower Shields - taller, heavier shields that offer stronger protection and higher durability than a standard shield of the same material. In exchange they are bulkier to carry. Their standout feature is that they can be decorated with banners (see the Banners section), so they can display a custom crest or emblem.

Each shield shows its Max Protection value in its tooltip, so you can hover over two shields and instantly compare which one blocks more before you commit to crafting or carrying it.
