[QUOTE="Leif, post: 3635154, member: 48762"] I'm all ears! Have I done something horrible? The only thing that I can think of concerning bucklers is that constables don't generally wear shields of any sort while on duty. The City Fathers of Lauralie Summerhome don't want their city to even come close to the appearance of an armed camp with heavily armed, armored, shielded, soldier-looking constables on every streetcorner. It is felt that the feeling of security provided to the citizens of Lauralie Summerhome by not having to see their constables walking around as though they were going to war is fair and just compensation for the added risk to the constables. If you have an argument for being allowed to wear a buckler (which is still a tool of warfare, even though it is a small one) on the streets, then you should present your petition to Magistrate Ironshirt, because virtually everything is negotiable with dwarves, after all! ;) [/QUOTE]
