Boon opportunity! Shields for Dragon's Den.

Submitted by Nick W. on Wed, 4/2/2014 at 12:38pm

We are currently conscriptiong the players to create two (2) large shields and two (2) medium shields for the dragon's den.

3 boon each will be awarded for the first 4 passible shields at the May 2014 event.

You want all of these to be strap shields as opposed to punch?

Straps please.

Should we assume the wielder will be around 6ft? Since shields are based on wielder height, and that just makes the numbers round.

That sounds good.

Any specific Dimensions or Colors? 

Colors matter not. Rectangle and square are fine, or you can get more creative. These are monster shields after all.

When i say Dimesnsions, I meant height by width.

I imagine were shooting for average sized shields. Since they are for monsters and monsters all of varying size. Aim for something easily wielded by smaller folk while at the same time servicable to our larger peeps.

As there's a forum for this, Shawn, I'll direct you here shield rules.  They want them built based off of a person 6'0" tall using the formulas given.  I would build them based on regular shield, not heavy.

From Nick's OP:

"We are currently conscriptiong the players to create two (2) large shields and two (2) medium shields for the dragon's den."

From my follow up question and Nick's reply:

"Should we assume the wielder will be around 6ft? Since shields are based on wielder height, and that just makes the numbers round.

[Reply]: That sounds good."

As per the shield rules a small shield would be 2 x 2, a large would be 3 x 2.
