Crusader Shields are special types of Shields usable only by Crusaders in Diablo III. These shields are much like Paladin Shields in Diablo II: large, heavy, ornamented, often decorated with Zakarum iconography. Each Crusader takes great pride in his or her shield, believing it to be a part of their battle gear as important as a weapon. The Crusader's feats and accomplishments are written in the inner surface of their shield.
