Though they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, the protection offered by wooden shields comes from the stoutness of their materials. While wooden shields are less expensive than steel shields, they break more easily.
Using this shield
A shield grants its circumstance bonus to AC only while raised. Raising it costs 1 action, and the bonus lasts until your next turn starts. With the Shield Block reaction you can reduce damage by the shield's Hardness (3); the shield then takes the remaining damage, and it breaks at 6 damage and is destroyed at 12.
