Riot Shield

The riot shield is an icon of heavy law enforcement, used even in its earliest days. In an ironic twist, you can now have a heavy-duty version for your very own. Its transparent duraluminum body will stand up to all but the heaviest attacks, and if you've noticed me using the word "heavy" a lot in this description, you're right to think there's a reason for it. Heavy, slow, and cumbersome, the riot shield is a difficult item to use, and generally only good for protecting you from one side. Creds: 0 Ammo: None Requirements: +0 Energy Your maximum amount of infantry weapons is limited by your strength. One-handed Rolls: Cannot be used aggressively to much effect For bashing, rolls attacker's Energy and Maneuverability vs opponents Energy and Maneuverability

Additional Details

• Anything behind it has full cover; shots are highly unlikely to get around
• Only shields you in one direction at a time
• Heavy as hell, but if you have the strength for it, works great
• Sprinting while holding it causes you to do double rolls, with the least of each
• Completely transparent - protects you from weapon fire and you can still see your enemies
• The wielder can still shoot around it without much trouble
• You can only wield one-handed weapons while holding the shield
• Can do a shield bash (mostly ineffective; can cause enemy to stumble for a moment)
