example of a large shield


For all of us who have used a kiteshield or other shields that would be considered large in D&D and have hunched down behind them while someone is loosing arrows at you, you might have noticed they provide decent cover.

So what I'm suggesting is a homebrew rule, so to say, that large shields provide a cover of 50% as long as you are aware of the attacking archer and you are positioined so that you may use your shield against said archer. small shields would give a cover of 30%

any opinions, suggestions, trolling etc etc?

Technically this is a large shield as well


now this is a small shield. pic's are just for making examples.
