Shields and pavises
- Your shield must be edged with leather, padding, or other covering, or constructed so that it minimizes damage to rattan weapons or other fighters.
- Sharp edges (e.g. 90-degrees or more) must be rounded.
- Bolts, wires, or other objects must not project more than 3/8 inch (9 mm) from any part of your shield without being padded. Rounded shield bosses are not considered to be projections.
- Your shield is allowed to be constructed with leg(s) so that it can act as freestanding pavise during melee combat.
- The leg(s) used to keep your pavise standing must be at least 1 1/4 inches (31.8 mm) in diameter or 1 1/4 inches (31.8 mm) square and be securely attached.
