+Until the start of your next turn, you gain the [[legacy:rules:cover_and_concealment|Cover]] bonus of your shield.  If any attack roll includes a die that rolls equal to or lower than the shield's Cover value, that attack automatically misses, regardless of the total result.  If you use a shield to deflect an attack, the Cover benefit provided by the shield is lost, and the shield is no longer raised.
