Message: <blockquote data-quote="Umbran" data-source="post: 6364804" data-attributes="member: 177">The shield is, as others have noted, basically an artifact-level item.But, beyond that - Cap himself is the utter peak of human ability and training.  He fights as well as any human can fight. He is a top-flight superhero.  Despite his seeming lack of raw power, he's good enough to stand alongside gods like Thor and Hercules, able to fight them and not necessarily lose.  Cap is not a 1st level character.  He fights way, way better than a 1st level character can fight, and can do things with that shield that no 1st level character could do.So, don't ask how you'd model that as a 1st level character.  Ask how you'd model that as a high teens to 20th level character, and work back to what the 1st level character can do.</blockquote>
