Title: Small Archer Shield
Post by: Adalwulf on November 12, 2011, 01:39:51 am

Was wondering if it would be possible to have something like this?

If it is possible i'd suggest a wpf reduction kind of similar to heavier helmets. I think it would be neat to have although i'm sure many would disagree since it might be too cheap :S

I've never seen or heard of anything like this in history before...
Even if it's a real thing, I don't see any possible place for it in a balanced system.

First of all, it'd have to be programmed as a single shield/bow hybrid weapon or every other bow would have to be retro-fitted to function as both 1H and 2H. None of this makes any sense to me.

Yeah that's what I thought about having to make a new model for it. Also i'm not sure if this was even used in history but wouldn't be surprised.

It is in with fire and sword, as well as a few other games, but not too sure about the historical aspects. I think it could work balance wise.
