It means that same thing at level 1 and at level 20, since there's only so many numbers that can be rolled on a d20.
Considering how much a shield can cover it's not hard to believe that is worth 2 to your average ac as its more if you hit the shield it won't really do damage (yes there are weapons that can but they are designed to deal with problems like a shield) if the shield survives it doesn't matter how sharp the blade is your blow isn't making contact with the person and the impact is mitigated.

And I would track the HP of the shield.Yeah, I can see now how this makes shields useless.I wouldn't go this route.
Do you realize the damage enemies are dealing later on?

Does a +1 shield just have higher HP and damage reduction, but can still break?
Nevertheless this idea is buried.I still have an awesome encounter idea where the paladin in my group, who usually enjoys displays of heroics with his shield, will try to block a giant's two handed maul and break his hand, so he actually uses some healing abilities.D&D doesn't use damage reduction so I wouldn't bolt on a damage reduction mechanic for shields.

Using average values it would mean you have a 10% chance to be blocked by the shield which seems reasonable considering they don't have variants of shields.As for your mechanic it feels to cumbersome for what it's worth. Basic Rules

Then you have to out of your way to get a new one, or carry multiple shields, or whatever, and you just have dead weight on your arm and a hand you can't use unless you waste a whole action taking the shield off.This was really useful, thankyou.
It's a very rare magic item but It would bring your AC to 24

And then enjoy seeing your game melt, because of the effects.I give shields a HP value based on these factors.
Adding in more dice after attacks and damages, as well as having more HP scores to keep track of, will just be an added layer of complexity to the 5e system.Yes, the magical items would break and their magical essence lost, unless stored in a certain part of the shield (a gem, for example).
an optional rule in the DM's Guide that involves the players stating a direction that the characters are facing and their shield only gives them an AC bonus on the side that they are holding it.If mean, if you make positioning a thing, include flanking, as well.

5e has greatly lessened the use of DR (most undead used to have dr5 for one type of damage or another) but it is still thereI don't think this rule would be very good, it seems to actually make shields even less relevant.Though I disagree with the other posters that +2 AC from shields is great.
