Notes
- Shields must be a shield type in order to work. A shield you intend to describe as being leather, for example, still must be one of the given types; it cannot be ARMOR_TYPE_LEATHER.
- Remember that armor classes affect PCs' abilities and should be tailored to be appropriate to your target audience.
