 ===== Damage Reduction =====
-When you Raise your Shield for Damage Reduction, add the Shield Rating of your shield to the Damage Reduction of your armour (if any).  However, any attack roll that equals or exceeds the Smash TN of your shield will reduce the Shield Rating by one, and your shield becomes [[legacy:conditions:Broken]].  If your Shield Rating is reduced to zero, your shield becomes [[legacy:conditions:Destroyed]].
+When you Raise your Shield for Damage Reduction, add the Shield Rating of your shield to the Damage Reduction of your armour (if any).  However, any attack roll that equals or exceeds the Smash TN of your shield will reduce the Shield Rating by one, and your shield becomes [[legacy:conditions:Broken]].  If your Shield Rating is reduced to zero, your shield becomes [[legacy:conditions:Destroyed]] even if it would not normally be Destroyed due to object damage progression.
+===== Cover =====
+When you Raise your Shield for Cover, you gain a [[legacy:rules:cover_and_concealment|Cover]] rating equal to the Shield Rating.  Your shield cannot become damaged when used in this manner, unless an attacker deliberately targets the shield itself.  Your shield does not provide Cover for itself, but it does add its Shield Rating to its Smash TN when used in this manner.
