The Shield of Harmony +2 is an enchanted and magical small shield which also provides immunity to charm- and confusion-like effects or to being held. It has a basic armor class of three.b
“ | Audn of the Field, Knight-Champion for the wizard Kekkim, carried this shield for most of his life. It protects the bearer from most forms of mind control, a benefit for a wizard who needed warrior allies to stay faithfully at his side. Both Kekkim and Audn have long since returned to the earth, leaving the shield to whomever might recover it from Kekkim's tower. | ” |

Bugs[]
- Baldur's Gate I & II Classic
This icon indicates content from all original Baldur's Gate games, extensions included. Though small shields usually offer "no protection against missile attacks", the Shield of Harmony does not completely negate the basic armor class bonus for such weapons in the original Baldur's Gate II, due to a typo; this is fixed in the Enhanced Edition.
