a small wooden shield. 1 or 0 slot
light weight, ineffective arrow catcher, low or no SS requirement and might stop a couched lance. Good for all those guys who don't want to get shot but also don't want the weight and skill point sacrifices that come with a real shield. It wont be good. It would be very easy to create and implement compared to some of the grand suggestions getting around.
good for archers, x-bow, infantry
