Shielded spear

The shielded spear is a weapon in Sons of Dissent.

Characteristics
The shielded spear was, as the name would imply, a simple bladed wooden spear with a shield affixed to the shaft just after the blade. The weapon was devised by inhabitants of the Saioaran Basin region of Caterran as a hunting tool to protect against the horns of the yphrel, a horned mammal native to the mountains surrounding the region.

While wielding the shielded spear, a character gains +10 to Damage Threshold versus melee attacks.

Durability
The shielded spear can strike about 1850 times from full condition before breaking.

 * wood
 * twine

Locations
