Class-specific items are much like other items. They have a variety of stats and types, can be found magical, Rare, Unique, and sometimes in Sets as well. The real difference is that these items can only be used by one character class, and they can have random bonuses to individual skills, much like the ones you see on wands/staves/scepters in Diablo II. This is in contrast with magic items possessing class-specific [[Prefix#.2B_points_to_Skill_Levels|Skill Level]] and [[Prefix#.2B_points_to_Paladin_Skill_Trees|Paladin Skill Tree]] prefixes, which may be used by classes other than the [[Paladin]] without benefiting from the skill modifiers, and [[Scepters]], which can possess inherent bonuses of +1...–3 skill points to up to three Paladin skills from any of his skill trees.
Paladins get special shields for their class-specific items in the Expansion. These shields can have inherent bonuses to individual Paladin skills, just like scepters, and can also have +to skill trees or all Pal skills. In addition, paladin shields often have +to all resistances as an inherent property. This bonus can range from 5-–45% resist all, and you can get resistance affixes and even socket diamonds on top of that.
* List of [[Unique Paladin Items|Unique Paladin Shields]].
==Notes==
* All Paladin-only shields can have +1-–3 points in up to 3 individual skills from all three of his skill trees.
* The hue and color of base items in Diablo II can vary greatly, depending on the item's modifiers.
* [[Item Level]]: Chests and monsters must be at least this level to drop the item. Ilvl is used in gambling, sales and other calculations as well.
