Shield (Combat command)
The shield command will allow you to shield another being against
blows. The shield is non-aggressive, which means that you will not hit
back against enemies attacking the person you are shielding. Shield
works against PK attempts while the 'protect' command does not.
As a shielder, you will protect against damage based on your defense
skill. You can shield NPCs as well as players, however there is one
limitation for players who have PvP flag turned off: their shield will
not work against attacks from people they would be unable to attack
themselves. This includes:
- Other players.
- 'Service' NPCs such as trainers or innkeepers.
For example, if you shield a player with PvP flag on and he/she is
then attacked by another player, your shield will be ineffective. The
same applies if the person you were shielding attacks a trainer.
