1. Shield Spell and Armour

The protection given by the Shield spell (page 185) stacks with that provided by armour (page 135).

For example:

Natural Toughness (page 51) plus basic Shield spell: reduces damage from unarmed or blunt melee weapon attacks by 3 points until the spell is deactivated or fails, but only reduces damage from knives, firearms, or damage-causing spells by 2 points. 

Met stab vest plus basic Shield spell: reduces damage from melee attacks by 3 points until the shield is deactivated or fails, but only reduces damage from firearms/spell attacks by 2 points. (Remember: stab vests do not protect against firearms/spell damage; page 135.)

Ballistic armour plus basic Shield spell: reduces damage from melee or firearms/spell  attacks by 4 points until the Shield spell is deactivated or fails.

Note: armour does not protect against certain forms of spell damage. See individual spell descriptions for further details.
