This is a medium metal shield. It is painted with a hand grasping a lightning bolt, on a blue field. The shield will not function for a character who is either Chaotic, or Evil, or both.

It provides the following benefits when equipped by a non-Paladin:

• +4 to saves against disease
• Detect Evil up to 3 times per day
• Lay On Hands as a paladin of your level

For a Paladin, it:

• Doubles the range of Detect Evil
• Doubles the Lay On Hands healing value
• Provides +1 to armor class
