Stone Parma is a Shield in Dark Souls 3. As they are more than just a barrier used to distance yourself from imminent attacks, Standard Shields are widely available and allow a player to mesh their main-hand weapons into a personalized playstyle. With offensive applications in addition to their apparent defensive application, strategic use of the shield allows for more than simple damage reduction.
A round, stone shield, once carried by an old knight who turned to stone himself.
It has powerful defensive properties for its size, but is extremely heavy.
