Shields Up! expands on defensive shield use and also details the often-neglected roles of shields as offensive weapons and active tools of engagement.

Building off of the Dungeon Fantasy RPG and Fantastic Dungeon Grappling, Shields Up! enhances and expands your shield-using experience.

• Leverage the "shield bind" to open lines of attack, or protect yourself
• New explicit options for treating the shield as cover in combat. Hide from a rain of arrows, or crouch behind your shield to shelter from dragon's breath!
• Use a shield actively to hold a foe at bay, or prevent them from coming into weapons range
• Details on shield damage, overpenetration, and all the goodies you'd expect when the right answer to "shield wall!" is "Thog SMASH!"

Also includes rules for shields as gear, modifying them for particular use, how to treat shields relative to creatures of different size, and more.

This 24-page book in 8x10 format presents fight-tested rules that give new options for shield-using warriors, while preserving existing rules: You can introduce this to an ongoing campaign easily.
