LARGE SHIELD (shield)
=====================
Weight: ~5 kg
Rank(s): 1st row

        A large shield is carried in the same manner as a 
medium shield (i.e., on the forearm). Unlike the small shield, 
however, its weight prevents the character from using his shield
hand for anything other than carrying the large shield. Large
shields are usually made of metal, range from 3'-4' in diameter, 
and can be of any shape, from round to square to a spread dragon's
wings. A typical medieval shield resembles a triangle with one point
facing downward.

Some skill(s) usable with the weapon:
  Shield bash and parry's.
