 === Shields===
-* In pf2, you can use one of your three actions during your turn to defend with your shield, giving you, effectively, DR equal to the shield's hardness until the start of your next turn.
+* In pf2, you can use one of your three actions during your turn to defend with your shield, giving you a new reaction ability to use outside your turn.  The reaction is 'shield block', which reduces one hit's damage by your shield's hardness.
-:* shields may not even provide AC bonuses any more (unknown), but the idea of shields which block some damage or negate an attack, in exchange for some portion of your action economy, is interesting.
+:* your shield also doesn't provide any AC bonus until you use the defend action with it (each round).
-::* getting rid of shield AC might bring our to-hit/AC numbers a bit tighter.
+:* they state that fighters break a lot of shields, but that doesn't really jive with our sunder rules.  However, it would certainly make sundering a shield far more useful a strategy if you could actively defend with it.
-::* shields should still get properties, though (no enhancement bonuses, since that's just AC).
