Trait Mechanic⚙️
items with Safeguard also count as being a Shield. As such, they are affected by everything that affects shields, such as enchanting, features, or anything pertaining to the Shieldstrike Weapon Group.
Additionally, when a shield is not equipped, the item will give AC, as if it were a shied. Such will be listed in parentheses or brackets on the item's page. If a Shield is equipped while wielding the item, you can use the higher of the AC between the two.
