While you are holding a tower shield:

  • You have disadvantage on attack rolls (can be offset by the Shield Master feat).
  • You have half cover.
  • You can spend an amount of movement equal to half your speed to have three-quarters cover until the start of your next turn. If you do this, while you are an obstacle to a target you grant three-quarters cover instead of half cover.

While wielding a heavy shield, you cannot use weapons with the Two handed property (You can still use weapons with the Versatile property).
