Horse Archer Shield

A relic from the Book of Engoku.

Description

This dark brown cloth, worn similar to a cape, must be strapped to the bearer’s back and shoulders. While wearing this cloth, any normal projectile striking the cloth first does no damage. The effect extends to arrows, thrown weapons, and siege projectiles, but does not hamper the effects of any projectile that is affected by an enchantment or ability (such as Fire Arrow or Poison). The wearer may not intentionally turn his back to an incoming attack, as it is intended to defend the wearer from surprise attacks, not act as a real shield.
