A) Can shields have Potency/Property runes? I am not seeing this in the rule book...! Where is it specified, page wise?
B) The bottom of page 176 says:
Gaining a shield’s circumstance bonus to AC and TAC requires using the Raise a Shield action. A shield’s check penalty applies whenever
you’re holding the shield, regardless of whether you have it raised to gain its bonus.
Would I be correct to assume that this includes any Potency/Property the shield might have on it?
Thanks for the heads-up!!
That said, I'm pretty sure shield bosses/spikes can, since they are a weapon attached to a shield.
If this is incorrect, please let me know.

That's correct. However, it only affects attacks with the shield. It has no effect on defending with the shield in any way.
