Item: Archer's Bulwark
This embossed steel buckler (Hardness 4, HP 12, BT 6) is designed to not interfere with the hand an archer uses to pull back their bowstring. When you Raise a Shield with this buckler, the circumstance bonus to AC it grants against ranged Strikes increases to +2. This increased bonus doesn't apply to unusually massive ranged projectiles (such as boulders or ballista bolts).
Trait Effects

In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
