When something becomes a loan word, the original pronunciation and conjugation of the word in the donor language are no longer relevant. There can even be many ways to pronounce a word, and as long as the function of the language is met - to be understood by others - it shouldn't really matter what the pronunciation is. Case in point, machicolations... Seriously though, when there are dialect variations of words that have been part of the English vernacular for centuries, it doesn't seem productive to argue about the "correct" pronunciation on obscure words like "pavise"... Like English speakers can't agree on metre vs. meter, color vs. colour, or aluminum vs. aluminium. And deeper still in the language, there are things like cow vs. beef, pig vs. pork, sheep vs. mutton, calf vs. veal, and deer vs. venison...

@@nathanthom8176 absolutely agree. Also, the rule the other guy mentioned in his comment is wrong. When you use a loan word, you should use its original pronunciation unless your language adopted it in a different version. Tho if you use the original pronunciation, when you pronounce it in its plural form you must leave it in the singular form. It's still generally fairly common to either add the plural form of your language to the foreign word, or to adopt the plural form of its original language, but grammatical rules generally agree on leaving it in its singular form. Also, as an Italian, the correct written form for this shield would be "Pavese" and the plural would be "Pavesi". Both the letters "e" in the singular form would be pronounced as the the "e" in "leg", and it would apply the same way for the plural form for the first "e", while the final "i" would be pronounced like the "y" in "easy". Cheers! 🍻

If you're using this shield for "stabby" actions, you absolutely want that second strap or else when your spike meets something it doesn't puncture, that shield is going to fling itself away from you because where your hand grips the shield not serves as the fulcrum for the entire shield to pivot upon.

Then the GM decided to actually utilize the rules for item destruction, and the character becomes a lot more susceptible because that shield wouldn't withstand more than two or three strikes...If I remember correctly, even the basic 3rd edition had rules that claimed that if your hit roll was determined a hit or miss depending on whether you add the shields bonus, then the shield is hit. And it absolutely had the rules for hardness and health of items.

@@haydenbsiegel According to the players guide, the biggest shield has 5 toughness and 20 HP when it's wood, while adamantium has 20 toughness and 4 times as much HP as wood. That means that the biggest shield would have 80HP if made exactly the same but with adamantium. A lvl1 dwarven defender will have (on average) minimum 44 health (35 from warrior *7, 6 from dwarven defender *1 and 3 from Toughness (or however that trait is in English) which is mandatory), plus constitution bonus. If you are a dwarf with max (standard) constitution, that's 20 constitution (+5 bonus), so a bonus 40 health. In other words, it's impossible for an average dwarven defender to have less HP than the shield if he has max constitution and the shield is not enchanted. But if it IS enchanted, then the defenders level is surely higher as well, thus making him have even more HP compared to it. Furthermore, a full adamantite shield would NEED to have less HP, since a 5cm tower shield would be too heavy to be worn in one hand. Any reasonable GM would give severe penalties for trying to use such a heavy thing. That'd cut it to at least half, for 40 HP. But I won't try to look for actual weight data here as I've already proven my point. Items in D&D are quite easy to destroy if you deal damage in big chunks, rather than in many smaller hits.Though admittedly, 20 toughness of adamantium does make it quite durable until later levels, or unless you use high-power spells.

@@haydenbsiegel I don't even know a single thing about 5th edition...I literally told you the stats of such a shield in 3.0 edition (cause that's the edition for which I have the books). And all of that is kind of besides the point. I just made a minor, amusing comment about how it would be quite a lot easier to kill the character if one would just use the right method to fight it while using the 'items receive damage' rules that most people in their games do not (aside from specifically attacking items, of course). You then argued that the shield is some super-powerful, nigh indestructible thing that has more life than the defender himself...and here we are. As I said, that shield could not have more than 80 base HP (and probably would have less). Adamantium items are always masterwork in 3.X, by the way, to my knowledge. Depending on source, +1 enhancement adds either 1 to hardness and HP or 2 to hardness and 10 to HP. Let's assume the latter. That's still a shield with 30 hardness and at most 130HP, assuming the GM permits that super-heavy shield (or your character just has ridiculous strength on top of constitution). This is just BARELY more HP than a lvl20 character with 20 constitution has when rolling all 1's on every level. Furthermore, if your constitution would be 'maxed' at that level, then it would be either 25 without Wish (+7 bonus) or 30 with Wish (+10 bonus). That's 140HP or 200HP just from constitution bonus. 130HP and 30 hardness amounts to needing 160 damage in a single hit to destroy. Even less if the hardness is ignored (like when using some acids). That seems like quite a significant chunk, but at level 20 that's possible. And if we go for two hits, then a spell with a D10 damage dice will deal on average 140 damage (2*100 minus two times the hardness), sufficient to destroy the shield. A hardness-ignoring spell could almost destroy the shield in two hits with just a D6 dice (120 damage from two hits). For example, a Rain of Meteorites (or Meteorites Rain, my books aren't in English) deals 24D6 plus up to 4*6D6 from explosion. Though the explosion will probably be negated by hardness, 24D6 will deal on average 72 damage. That's 42 damage to the shield, all the while the user will also receive the full 24D6 + up to 4*6D6 damage. Sorry, but in D&D dying is very easy. There is no way to become unkillable. One could disarm you off your shield if they had sufficiently high strength (even with that glove on, that's only +10 bonus, not a "impossible to disarm" effect), cast Mordenkainen's Disjunction and then destroy the now-weak shield (20 hardness and 80HP has a good chance to be destroyed with a single Meteorites Rain), or simply create burrow you underneath rubble and wait for you to suffocate (alternatively, basically immobilize you and make you unable to even use the shield). You won't have ALL of your saving throws at top-notch level, so the right spell will work sooner or later, like the instant-kills. Don't get me wrong. I can understand custom rules, I can understand GM's offering characters broken items. But so long as you go by the standard rules, a 20th level character, no matter how tough, is hardly unkillable, and may be killed outright with just a bit of bad luck (for example...critical hit on a Vorpal sword).

Thank you Shad. I finally know what kind of shield was the basis for Wing Gundam’s shield. It’s pretty much like a long version of what this pavise is, and it gets put through several mobile suits (and holds a beam saber!)

I mean, it looks brutal regardless, but it seems a bit staged. The whole run at him with shield off at an open angle, sword mirroring such an angle, leaving a bit bigger than the shield sized space between your arms and you go charging in screaming helmet first. . . . That bit looks a bit staged due to the amount of improv raw fighting earlier. BUT, I'm sure the hard reset of his clock was pretty legit, just probably more so than intended. That's just what I'm seeing from it though. That was a pretty nasty American Football worthy knock there though.

Ahhh so thats where the charge blade shield bash move kinda comes from. Theres a move in the combo of Monster Hunter's charge blade where you do a sword slash, shield bash with kinda of a blunt or spiked end depending on the weapon materials and then switches into Savage Axe Mode. Kinda cool that it can be used as a mount or defensively while reloading.

Reminds me of Thorin Oakenshield's shield from the hobbit, i just think that in itself is cool and the fact that his log is like a real life weapon is just all the better!

You know that really didn't occur to me at all when watching this, but you're right. Not sure how a low-carbon steel pavise would handle compared to a historical one but I definitely see the inspiration between this and the shields of the Uruk-Hai. People generally seem to agree that Saruman's armouries produce surprisingly practical and flexible gear in the movies, although in this particular case I'd say that putting two spikes on the bottom edge was a mistake. More material, more complexity, more time and effort in the manufacture and probably considerably *less* effective than a single bladed point.

Glad I saw this, planning a shield design with a similar concept in mind.

Came up with a similar design concept for my fantasy world a few years ago. A spike on the end of a small kite shield. Shad, *if you use a strap handle instead of a fixed wooden one nearer the end of the spike, you can use two-handed weapons with your pavis shield.*

While it isn't a pavise, due to not having that central cavity, Captain America's Wakandan shield from Infinity War is actually very close to this design. So I suppose this shield has made an appearance in a major movie, more or less.

I got inspired and built a shield very similar to Shad's(larger and minus the boss). I LOVE it. My friend pointed something out, and I haven't tested it, but I'm inclined to agree. It's good to have the straps on a bias, so that your hand is forward and your elbow is back. It helps to keep the shield vertical so as to cover your full body in the way the kite shield is meant to do, and doesn't rob you of too much power when attacking with the spike.

Lord Shad, could THIS type of shield have been practically dual wielded? After all that debate previously this is the first shield I have seen that could theoretically be used in pairs effectively.

I think if you would dual wield this type of shield you lose a lot of reach. With a sword you extend your reach quite far, but with two shields like this you dont have the range compared to a sword and shield combination. I don't know how detrimental the tradeoff is, because you still have two shields and therefore a good chance to parry or block.

@andrearomano1911

If anyone was interested, pavese in Italian means that something (in this case the shield) is from Pavia, which is a city of great historical significance located south of Milan. The name Pavia comes from Latin Papia which probably comes from the gens Papilia, meaning: "land of the gens Papilia". It was first founded by the Gaullish tribes and then became a roman municipium and was called "Ticinum" for its proximity to the river Ticino. It has been the capital city of the lonbard Kingdom for a couple of centuries and then of the italic kingdom (part of the holy Roman kingdom) from the late 700's till the 11th century.

I homebrewed several shields for my D&D campaign, and the spiked pavise is one of them. Offers +3 to AC when held in hand and 1/2 cover if you don't move during your turn, or you can set it into the ground to gain 3/4 cover so long as you stay behind it. In exchange, I made it 25 lbs. (considerably heavier than most real-world examples I know, but I needed to balance it against other shields I added). The Paladin/Warlock multiclass in the party managed to use one to become a medieval howitzer. Planting the pavise into the ground, staying behind it, and using Eldritch Blast on anything that moves.

Kind of reminds me of the Uruk-hai shields in the films. Lurtz in the Fellowship did some attacks with his.
