As I believe a lot of folks have done, I have introduced the buckler as a house rule- only gives +1 to AC but doesn't occupy the hand.  But in any round when you're wielding something else with that hand, it gives no AC benefit. The Scythian vid is interesting and new to me, but again, the shield isn't being used actively for defense, and it looks like that setup will only really work with the short bow shown. I would consider allowing this as a piece of specialized kit, and let it grant AC vs missiles only while the archer is shooting, but limit it to being used with shortbows.</blockquote>
