! Description
| The character may fight with a suitable [[Combat|melee]] weapon in one hand and a Great Shield in the other.

* Both shield and weapon must be LARP-safe.
* Shield must be at least 61cm/24" in at least one dimension, but must not be larger than 153cm/60" by 92cm/36".
* Suitable weapons:
- Any small or one-handed weapon
- A [[Combat#Stab-Safe_Weapons|stab-safe weapon]] of between 105cm and 180cm (42" and 72") length. This must be wielded by holding the weapon roughly halfway along its length, with a shield in the other hand. The wielder may only make thrusting attacks, and may not use the weapon to parry. The Long Weapons skill is not required.

'''Note:''' Whilst the [[Long Weapons]] skill allows the two-handed use of weapons up to 210cm (84"), weapons — including stab-safe weapons — over 180cm (72") cannot be used one-handed with a shield.

'''Note:''' Any stab-safe spear must have a white ribbon visibly attached to it after being approved by a Curious Pastimes weapons checker.

'''Note:''' Great Shields cannot be [[Calls#Elemental_Effects|shattered]] by the common shatter spell or skills; however, there may be effects in play which can shatter these larger items.
