Vulgar, now we're going to expect more and more ideas out of you, so you'd better keep them coming! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
I love the idea of an archer's shield! It could be a small round shield with a vertical slit from centre to top. The shield attaches to the bow. The limited vision through the slit would reduce your Offence rating slightly to compensate for the Defence bonus on a two-handed weapon. Great idea! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Hah! I played a PnP Game called RoleMaster some years back and persuaded the dm to let me make a couple of weighted rods that I could clip on the bow for a + attack rating, this worked fine but understand that things like shields or my 'rods' take away from the Agility you need to wield a bow expertly, so it basicly meant that the increment of attack after the Agility Penalty came down to ... well square one, aside from the fact that it cost me a pretty bit of gold.
So sure you could have a clip on mini shield with a defense bonus of 10 % but what if your accuracy becomes worse???
