For example, with a one handed sword you can sometimes pick up a fresh shield to replace yours. Ideally, you will do this before yours breaks, because being in close combat with no shield can be bad. Alternatively, you might pick up a polearm so you can fight from range (if you have enough athletics to make this useful). | For example, with a one handed sword you can sometimes pick up a fresh shield to replace yours.
