Darkon Shields
“Shields in Darkon are the most effective protection against physical attacks and will block an attack from all non-siege weapons. A Player may only wear one shield at a time (except for bucklers). Shields may be worn on the arm or back and fastened with straps or buckles. There may be no shield spikes or other ‘hard’ decorations on the front or edge of a shield. The definition of “hard” as it relates to the safety of the shield shall be left to the discretion and judgment of the Marshalls in charge of event safety. Shields may not be thrown.”
“A shield may be made in any style, shape, or size according to the character type restrictions of the Player. The size of the shield is measured by the shield’s largest dimension. There are 4 types of shields, as described below:”
Bucklers – must be between 12” and 18”
Small Shield – must be between 18” and 24”
Medium Shield – must be between 24” and 36”
Large Shield – any shield larger than 36”
