Description

Recent changes to Major Shield mean that it is easier to perform Major Shield if you are using an "actual shield" as the component. This is in contrast to many other types of "shields" that are still considered shields by the ritual, but are not usable in combat as shields. The shields in question are:

  • Paper shield; lightest, but incurs a difficulty penalty when performing Major Shield.
  • Mounted pewter shield; moderate weight ("about two pounds") and has no effect upon Major Shield's difficulty. Can be bought for 300 DjToon in the Djelibeybi bazaar.
  • Normal combat shields; much heavier, but give a difficulty bonus when performing Major Shield. Custom shields - available from Ug Ogg in the Djelian Guards guild in Djelibeybi - can weigh only a little more than mounted pewter shields while conferring a significant bonus (for example, a "small leather buckler" created using "inferior" grade leather with no fancy additions weighs only 3 1/9 lbs). These custom shields can also often be significantly cheaper than mounted pewter shields, although they do take a couple of hours to make.
