This forum is for the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game, which is self-contained. No GURPS book is relevant here.

In the DFRPG, you get a metal shield by applying the dwarven, meteoric, or orichalcum modifier; see Adventurers, p. 107. Dwarven and meteoric shields are heavy and give +1 damage with bashes and rushes; orichalcum shields are light, and consequently give no damage bonus, but they make it dangerous to try a parry against a bash or rush because they're harder than everything but other orichalcum. All three are fireproof and all three are cheaper to make mirrored.
