Smithing Shields

by

Ton Firepride

All shields require a FORGE,
WATER, SMITHY HAMMER, and a
MOLD of the size and type you
wish to craft. The type of
shield also determines the
amount of metal required. The
most commonly smithed shields
are Buckler, Round, Targ,
Kite, and Tower Shields.

Buckler Shields require ONE
SHEET of METAL.

Round Shields require TWO
SHEETS of METAL

Targ Shields require ONE
FOLDED SHEET of METAL

Kite Shields require TWO
MEDIUM QUALITY SHEETS of
METAL

Tower Shields require ONE
MEDIUM QUALITY FOLDED SHEET
of METAL.

I have seen shields carried
by visitors of my shop from
other lands. Some of the
foreign shields were of
superb craftsmanship and a
few had been bestowed with
special magical properties.
Perhaps one day I will have
the opportunity to travel to
other lands and ask their
master blacksmiths to teach
me their special techniques.
