Martial Archetype: Sworn Shield

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Sworn Shield

Play the Ultimate Sword and Board Fighter!

Introducing a new Fighter subclass option designed around classic weapon-and-shield combat!

Some warriors are students of form and technique, while others supplement their martial prowess with magical effects. Sworn shields see defensive resilience as the source of their strength and are most at home in the crush and chaos of the front lines. Some come from the nobility, trained as knights from birth. Others are legionnaires, skilled soldiers who learned to fight as a unit in a shield wall or military phalanx. Regardless of their origin, sworn shields stand directly in the enemy’s path, shield in hand, facing down the very worst they can dish out.

Includes new subclass abilities designed for front lines combat!

  • Born on the Line
  • Shield Bash
  • Additional Fighting Style
  • Circle of Retribution
  • Break the Line
  • Shelter of Iron

Also includes recommended feats for customizing Sworn Shields as elite defensive Fighters!

Find the Fantasy Grounds version here!

Good to finally see some shield love. Lets a shield user have a place in a party without becoming overly powerful or overly weak. Also doesn't compeltely handicap the player if they're separated from a shield like it could have. [...]

"Sword and Board" is such a classic fighter archetype, but doesn't get much of a spotlight in the official subclasses, so I'm extremely happy to have found Sworn Shield! The abilities are fun to play, and the mechanics feel like they could be [...]

Out of the Martial Mayhem bundle we have the Sword Shield, a soldier of staunch dedication to holding the front lines with his mighty shield. Evan asked me to take a look at this puppy, and I was very excited to, however - I felt like [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
