Level 1 Artifact
This unusual shield is based on that used by a first age Solar hero whose name has been lost to history. It is made from wood coated with steel but it’s edge, save for two handholds on either side, is coated with a rare crystal. It has a large spike the size of a man’s forearm tipped with this same crystal in the centre. This crystal is of unknown origin and is extremely sharp, able to cut through armour with ease. There are at least half a dozen of these sheilds in existance each with unique decorations. The original sheild was made of Oricalchum and edged with adament with a sun motif drawn around the central spike. It is rumored to lie in his tomb but the stories say that the sheild was too heavy and unweildy to be used by anyone other than him.
The war sheild is treated as a normal target sheild. However, the shield can be used as an improvised weapon to make an attack with the following statistics: Speed: 3; Acc: -3; Damage: +4L (piercing); Rate: 2; Defense: +0
Note on defense modifier: The +1 PDV modifier of the sheild is not lost if used to attack. In some cases attacking with a sheild could aid in defense, while at other times doing so could completely remove it’s effect. The +0 can be seen as an average of the defense modifiers of these two situations.
