Shields and pavises

  1. Your shield must be edged with leather, padding, or other covering, or constructed so that it minimizes damage to rattan weapons or other fighters.
  2. Sharp edges (e.g. 90-degrees or more) must be rounded.
  3. 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.
  4. Your shield is allowed to be constructed with leg(s) so that it can act as freestanding pavise during melee combat.
    1. 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.
