The web sites that talk about shield are incorrect.
The way it work is there are break points at 25, 50, 75, and, I presume 100, but I do not do artificial training and have never had Shield Skill = 100 on a character than can use more than a +3 shield (other than a Light Shield that I have never happenned to come across in my games - I never do reloads to get such items).
You get +1 AC from Shield Skill, at each of these points, but only up to the level of the Shield. For example at Shield Skill = 25, you will get +1 AC from a Buckler Shield and +1 AC from Shield Skill. At higher Shield Skill levels you will still get only +1 AC.
For a Round Shield, you will get +1 AC from Shield Skill at 25, +2 at 50 and no more.
For a Heater Shield you will get +1 AC from Shield Skill at 25, +2 at 50 and +3 at 75.
I have observed these many times in my games.
