TOPIC: Spiked Buckler and Trade Item Question

Do Spiked Bucklers count as common weapons or common armor or both (in that it can be used in either category)

Spiked bucklers will count as weapons since they have a damage wheel...

Could we get a fresh posting once things are more set in stone...those of us who have lost track of the threads and need to ship tokens need a refresher?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />G

Yes, I will. 

Any word on this, or did I miss it?<br /><br />Thanks

I will have a supplement ready for True Realm that will list all official weapons and armor.  But it still stands that the Buckler is a weapon in the case of trades. <br /><br />Dave

Dave,<br /><br />I'd like to put an argument in for making the Spiked Buckler a peice of armor.  Here's my reasoning:<br /><br />1.  Take a look at the picture!  It a shield with 3 "pointy things" attached to it.<br />2.  It has an armor class; what weapon improves your AC rating?<br />3.  And last, we have enough common weapons to build the Dwarf King's palace out of dwarven steel.  LOL!!!!!<br /><br /><br />Jim

Why not make it either/or? Let the owner decide if s/he needs it to be counted as armor or weapon, depending on his/her needs?<br /><br />Obviously, one should not be allowed to send in 24 armor tokens, 24 weapon tokens, plus a spiked buckler and get two trade tokens in return.<br /><br />Would making it "flexible" be a pain for you Dave? If so, then let's make it one or the other. You're dance card is full enough as it is. 

I do not really care, actually.  However, my primary driver is the fact that I am keying off the damage wheel which all other armor does not have.<br /><br />  I am also going by my call that items listed in the armor section are valid for hide/oil and items listed in the weapons section are valid for the steel/bismuth.  <br /><br />Guess where I have placed the buckler?

On your belt?

=D<br /><br />No, on my really cool new sash made by Jenny...
