Shield Bonus
A bonus to Armor Class granted by a shield or by a spell or magic effect that mimics a shield. Shield bonuses stack with all other bonuses to AC except other shield bonuses. A magic shield typically grants an enhancement bonus to the shield’s shield bonus, which has the effect of increasing the shield’s overall bonus to AC. Example: A +3 heavy steel shield gives you a total shield bonus to your AC of +5 (+2 shield bonus from the shield and +3 shield bonus from the +3 enhancement bonus on the shield). A shield bonus granted by a spell or magic item typically takes the form of an invisible, tangible field of force that protects the recipient.
