Armor

  • Hang Strap: a kite shield is rigged with a hanging strap that allows it to be wielded on horseback so that a rider can use a weapon in his right hand, hold the reins in his left and still get the AC bonus. On foot, you cannot wield both a kite shield and a 2-handed weapon, but can let the shield hang without putting it down.
  • Thrown: a buckler can be thrown up to 50' for a shield bash attack.
  • Shield Wall: a group of 4 or more defenders all armed with round shields and all standing close together are said to be in a shield wall, and are attacked with disadvantage.
