I have always been a fan of swords, above pretty much all other type of fighting gear. But, there is just something so satisfying about a good shield, particularly buckler shields. Being a small shield, you are not deflecting any arrows raining down on you. But, swords, spears, knives, fists, a buckler shield will keep you nice and protected, all the while dealing some incredible damage.
Making the protrusion (the boss), was probably the hardest part.
The boss can deal some serious bludgeoning damage, but the edges are just as deadly. We tested it out and I was able to get it an inch or two deep into a axe throwing wood block.
We cut the handle from a piece of steel, heated it up, then folded the middle over on itself. A hollow handle makes it much lighter.
So now I have a knife, a shield, and a spellcasting seal, I would say that is a full character right there! Cannot wait to test this out in some sparring!
Just a fun picture!
