Foot Soldier Shield

In-Game Description

A small shield used by Drangleic foot soldiers.

A clearly makeshift shield that does not offer
significant defense. The only advantage of this
shield is that it makes parrying easier.

Availability

Forest of Fallen Giants treasure. In a small cave guarded by a Old Ironclad Soldier just past the bigger fiery cave
with the Flame Salamander shooting fireballs and a Fire Longsword. (SotFS only)

Hollow Infantry and Skeleton drop.

Poise Damage:	The ability of the shield to break the poise of an enemy.
Durability:	The durability of the shield. The shield will break when durability reaches 0.
Weight:	The weight of the shield. Note that carrying over 70% of your Equip Weight will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned.
Stats Needed:	Determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the shield effectively. The requirement stats for shields are A / B / C / D: A is the Strength required B is the Dexterity required C is the Intelligence required D is the Faith required While it is possible to use a shield with lower-than-required Strength, your character will suffer a severe penalty to damage reduction.
Aux Effect:	The Aux Effect stat dictates how effective the shield will be at causing the effect. The Aux Effect stats for a shield are A / B: A is Poison Effect B is Bleed Effect
