Tribal (Zulu shield)

I will construct a tall stretched animal hide shield if i can be assured that it will be considered for the next big(sufficient) patch.

Please suggest dimensions(big)         Weight(low)         Stats(low health high speed)                    not up to me but would be helpful in making decisions about its appearance

I would like you to post images of Zulu style shields and suggest which animal hide to use (I have almost settled for zebra)

PK is a collection of elites from throughout modern and ancient history. Giants of Calradia individually, as a group these gods of combat shatter all expectations and ascend to a higher plain of victory that only a few have seen before.

Surely it would be almost useless in crpg context? They'd have very very low stats.

All shields are fantastic with 13 shield points, no matter the stats.

And even a medium shield with 7 shield skill is pretty good. Just make the price follow the stats, and it should be okay.

It should have 0 difficulty, but with a slow speed, (relatively) high resistance and very low health
Basically a shield that can block arrows without having to invest in shield skill

We have the practice shields for 0 shield skill arrow-blockers, but I suppose the Zulu shield could be a slightly more expensive, larger variant (perhaps with lower health, as well?).

Also, Zulu attack in DTV anyone?

a stick with leather hide is going to be very low weight and extremely fast.  Leather is lighter than wood or metal chief.

1 shield requirement
105 speed
150 HP
5 armor
about the same coverage as a kite shield
