Armor base: 23, Can be worn by: fighters, paladins, Description: The Imperial Escutcheon is a recent innovation in shield design for the Empire of Harabec; based on the heater style, it is thicker around the rim and has a very subtle saddle-shaped curvature that is concave laterally and convex vertically, serving to deflect spears and other thrusted polearms straight up or down, thus breaking the adversary's defence, while also directing damage from sword blows to the thickened edges, thus while easily getting chipped, greatly minimises the chances of a critical structural failure, although its mithril composition adds to its durability. Its proven success in a quashing a recent peasant revolt has led the king to permit the escutcheon of Harabec's coat of arms to be sported upon its face, hence its present name, including a large sapphire gem embedded flush against its surface., Level needed to equip it: 32, Strength modifier: 0, Intelligence modifier: 0, Dexterity modifier: 0, Constitution modifier: 0, Wisdom modifier: 0, Charisma modifier: 0, Absorb spell: 0, Max equip: 0.
