Question Title:	Shield Size
Category:	Items
Question:	Does the physical size of the shield you use have any effect on your protection? For example would a AL:60 buckler provide the exact same protection as a AL:60 tower shield?

Answer:	No, physical size does not affect the protection values. So yes, the buckler in your example provides the same level of protection as the tower.
