Dire Shield
 by Paul Mosher

This is a +2 Tower shield of permanently burnished bronze/steel alloy as pictured. It weighs 15 pounds and is 40 inches tall by 30 inches wide and has but one power: On a successful shield smash the bas-relief bear’s head animates and bites the target for 1D30 damage. Note that any damage over 15 points also has a base 20% chance for an RCH, rolled for on the Non-Weapon Caused Wound chart.
