Tower Shields are the third strongest normal quality shields. They are also the only normal quality shields to be Heavy type, meaning they reduce Run/Walk speed by .4 yards per second.
All other things being equal, tower shields are inferior to gothic shields, which are lighter, provide more defense, and have a lower strength requirement.
