"Round wooden shield. Cracked and nearly broken.
Wood shields are lighter than metal shields, but this one has lower physical damage reduction stability, partly due to cracking."

Acquired from:

Initial equipment for Pyromancer.
Dropped by Hollow Warriors (with shield) in the Firelink Shrine, Undead Burg, and Undead Parish.

Hints and Tips:

Has very similar stats to the intact round shields, but worse in every meaningful way. Recommended for roleplaying only.
Utilizes "Fast" type parrying although not recommended to use this shield unless cosplaying.

  while fairly judged as one of the worst shields in the game, it has zero deflection, making it a good pick for the incredibly niche application of a thrusting sword counterhit build. darkhand is objectively better though and should be swapped to asap, and parrying renders the play style obsolete anyway

  This is like a worse version of the plank shield because it's less memey

  Based on my data from "Prepare to Die Edition", I updated the values for Fire +10, but these are lower than the values listed for Fire +9, so the other Fire values are likely incorrect and in need of reviewing.
