Item description from Baulder's Gate
====================================


Large Shield +2: 
 This shield was commission from the finest dwarven smiths by
 Pellan of Tyr, a renowned paladin who was known for his
 unquestionable courage and total lack of common sense. Upon
 hearing that a red dragon was ravaging the countryside,
 Pellan mounted his horse and rode off to do battle. 
 Pellan and his armor digested readily, but the shield gave
 the dragon severe stomach cramps. He coughed it up and it
 lay in his treasure pile for several years until it was
 retrieved by Pellan's son, a paladin who knew when to sneak.

 The superior craftsmanship is supplemented by a permanent
 lightness spell, which makes the shield very easy to wield.
