Constructed of clear, high-impact plasteel, these shields are used for riot control. They are usable by left- or right-handed people, and come in two sizes. Special opaque ballistic models are used by law enforcement for house raids and other SWAT-style activities. If used to bash, the shield does (STR – 2)L Stun damage. Riot shields add +2 to melee attacks, for both the defender and the attacker, because they get in the way of effective melee combat. Any character with a Reach of +2 or greater (including weapon Reach bonuses) can bypass the shield.
