>What's a shield again?

It's all written in my easy to follow not complicated or forgettable at all clearly you haven't read write up under the title "Armored Casting and Cover" Not at all confusing, so please read it and all your answers will be answered.

So based on that here's the rules:
1. You get a 2AC bonus. That's already accounted for.
2. You will get some degree of cover but only if you explicitly state where you are pointing the shield, otherwise it's assumed to be on your back.
3. You may hide behind it if you crouch and get up to full cover from some applicable attacks like arrows.
4. More things I said that I regret.

So we all know 5e rules on shields are broken. My rules at this point are absolutely perfect in every conceivable way. The objective is not to make it clunky or in any way defeat everything or goblins will be casting area of effect spells just to get around your shield and you don't want that.

So let's revisit this.
