Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leif" data-source="post: 3637510" data-attributes="member: 48762">no shields at all, pleaseWell, originally, the idea was for the city to have a ban on all medium and heavy armor, shields, helms, etc.  But then I realized that elven chainmail was light armor.  So, since we couldn't really ban elven chain, since it is light armor, after all, we just added the proviso that you should wear a jerkin, tunic, etc. over the elven chain, so that it isn't really obvious.  When you guys operate outside the boundaries of Lauralie Summerhome, of course, this restriction won't apply.  And, even moreso, if you find yourself underground in Lauralie Summerhome deeper than the level of the Understreets (this will include pretty much all of the 13th Ward, btw), the restriction is likewise lifted.  You see, the whole idea is to make Lauralie Summerhome at least appear to be a calm, peaceful, nice, safe, normal city.  But, my goodness, if you've got rats the size of small ponies, and stirges flying around all over the place, I guess the normalcy of Lauralie Summerhome is already pretty much out the window.  However, Ignatious Ironshirt is going to be utterly convinced that anybody who wears a shield of any sort is a total wuss!</blockquote>
