**Shields and Items**  
  
  
      This mod adds usable shields and many more items to the game. This started as a small project but as time went on it kept growing. Right now the mod features:  
  
  
* Over 40 shields to use in gameplay from all factions
* 56 New armor pieces
* 12 Hoods
* 2 Cloaks/Capes
* An entirely new merchant, easily found in the Vizima palace gardens!
* New witcher armors with custom abilities!

  
**Shields**  
      Shields can be used in combat for blocking incoming attacks, arrows and giving an extra resistance to heavy-hitting attacks. Geralt only blocks from the front using the shields, so you can get hit by an arrow from behind. There are shields from every faction from the game, from Skellige shields to Ofieris shields and Toussaint shields. Once you equip the shield, press the use item button to bring out the shield and put it away.  
      There is an in-game menu for feature customization under the options menu, though you might need to re-equip the shield to apply the effect. To use shields while on horseback and climbing, download the [Better Torches](http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1990/?) mod.   
      Huge shoutout to [erxv](http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/users/3812549/?) who made the shield combat possible, without him they would be just a cosmetic! Go show him some love!  
  
  
See the image section for the locations the shields can be bought from.  
  
  
   
  
  
**Other Items**  
  
      This mod has also includes the [More Robes](http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2144/?) mod, with all of it's content bundled with this (this is done to reduce the mod limit), so you don't need to have both mods installed, just this one. And all of the new armor pieces received custom new abilities that grant you skills free of charge, without requiring you to put points into your skill tree and equipping the skills. Make sure to check the item's descriptions for what effects they give! There is also a complete Nilfgaardian Knight set of armor, with helmets included for you to use.
