Shield of Stability

A mercenary warlord who wanted an army of unstoppable foot soldiers contracts a guild of wizard-smiths to make these magical shields. Only a few were ever finished, as the mercenary ran out of money before he could pay, and the wizard-smiths went to work for the opposition. A bearer of one of these heavy steel shields is very difficult to move. When using the Stand Firm action, the bearer gets a +2 bonus on his or her Strength (Might) tests to resist the skirmish or knock prone stunts. There is no bonus if the bearer uses Dexterity (Acrobatics) to resist these stunts.
