A shield for archers in Support class

[_Sophie_]

Example from google

Archers got mainly A bow and arrow and a 1 handed weapon, a shield in support class slot  (light but can resist arrows/javelins at hands)
Its either a shield or your class you choose (Medic/Engineer) like the man at arms class can but a smaller (craftable by house) shield

Good for:
Protect hands/Half of arm (depending on size)
Protects an archer a bit on Shield maidens/Veteran huscarls
No arrows/Javelins/Axes block you in first person mode

Bad for:

More work for Devs
Less people die with bow in hand (Looting arrows/bows from dead body's will be less)

Sounds good, as long as they don't get any Shield skill, and only small shields, to keep it balanced.

[Jalau]

No! Archers are strong enaugh! Just pick up a shield from the ground!

[Yvain]

Replace the barricades or kits in support slot with a lovely small shield ?

I like the look. But I'm not sure we really need it in NI.

Less cades and less medikits.
A stront point against your idea.

Hey,

Maybe you add a poll? And who need shields for archer? Like Jalau said pick them up from ground.

[Hypernoma]

I'll interject and say no, archers know how to get themselves some shields (hybrids) and that's that. We're not adding archer shields.
