Default Re: Classifying Shields

The protectiveness of shields and the way they are used tends to be dependent on the size of the person using them. In Italian sword and buckler supposedly any shield whose radius is less than ones fore arm can be used with sword and buckler techniques. I've that a shield I made to use with the techniques from I.33 sword and buckler is too large for shorter people to use in such a way. Mind you they get good hold it in front of you protection from shields I would want to use in the front line of shield wall, so I guess it balances out.
