I scanned the entire Suggestions forum, and have found that this is yet to be explicitly rejected. So...

Shields would add a small amount of health. It can be removed and equipped like armor, and any attacks that hit the shield gives no damage to the player. It is held by the left hand, with an assigned button to either hold the shield in front of you or to your side

There are three types of shields; War Shields, Bucklers, and Kite Shields

War shields are made of hide and wood, do not slow down the user at all, and are ineffective against ranged weapons. Ranged weapons deal half damage when hitting a War Shield. War shields are dyable, like Bento Armor.

Bucklers are made of wood and iron. Bucklers are smaller than War Shields, but they have an advantage over them in that they provide a larger health boost and have a chance to block melee attacks, by first detecting a hit, and drawing a value from 0 to 10. If the value is 2 or below 2, the hit does no damage.

To be continued.
