So the rules on page 404 (continuing the section started on 403) say that armor and clothing weight only 20% of the normal weight for windlings.
My question is does this also apply to shields? Or do shields only come in "standard" size like weapons do? It feels a bit weird for a windling to be using a human sized shield (and get the same defence bonus as a human)
Thanks
(and yes, I assume that if windlings use smaller shields, trolls and obsidimen need to buy oversized ones)
Windlings, shields and weight
Re: Windlings, shields and weight
Fairly sure this is another of the cases where the writers assume you would use common sense
Re: Windlings, shields and weight
I'd say yes of course. I suspect the fact that it is not specified is due to the fact that this text (about clothes and armor weighting 20% of normal) is a cut-and-paste from previous editions where shields were giving additional ARMOR rating instead of DEFENSE rating.
Re: Windlings, shields and weight
Shields sized for a windling follow the same rules as clothing and armor.

Re: Windlings, shields and weight
Thanks, that was my assumption but since things are called out specifically for the cost/weight modifiers I wanted to check
