Shields
Shields can be used offensively and may sometimes require two hands to use properly. When used defensively,
they may provide a Blocking bonus or more. Talents are based on a style from a particular region.
They include:
- Norman (A medieval shield with a kite-like shape.)
- Pavise (a shield providing cover for archers.)
- Pelta (half-moon leather shield.)
- Round (Used by barbarians, bound by leather and wood with an Umbo or Boss to use in attacks.)
- Bucklers (designed to protect the feet and break sharp weapons.)
