Buckler in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
D&D 5e Homebrew
Buckler
Armor (Shield)
Common
Typically a small disc of no more than 2 ft. diameter made of sturdy wood or thin hammered steel that is affixed to the forearm of the shield arm by means of leather strapping and buckles.Due to the fact that the shield must be strapped and buckled to one arm, leaving only the other hand to tend to the fastening, to don the shield will take 5 minutes and to doff will take 1 minute.
The Strength requirement is not indicative of the requirement to hold the shield up but instead the constant drain of lifting, lowering, swiping, and force of parried blows in combat.
