Unique Shields[]

This page is missing some other unique shields such as Roggi's Shield and Hrolfdir's Shield. Please add all unique shields including shields that are quest items and have unique names.Ddsd567 (talk) 11:58, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Shields are said to not interact with Armor perks (Light/Heavy) all over the Internet[]

Contrary to what is written here, all my Internet searches give the same answer: Light/Heavy armor perks do not affect shields at all. Unless someone has tested otherwise in most recent or specific versions of Skyrim, the first sentences must be corrected.

Found an exception : "Custom Fit, Well Fitted, and Matching Set perks are applied to shields if the four pieces of worn armor (armor, helmet, gloves, boots) match appropriately. The shield does not have to be of the same set, nor even the same type (light or heavy)." (source: another Skyrim wiki)
Rather paradoxal: Light/Heavy perks generally do not benefit the shield, nor does using a shield increase the armor skills, but the shield has increased protection if you have Custom Fit or Well Fitted (full set) no matter if you are using a Light or Heavy shield.
