My group has recently been having a discussion different movies, and we have been going over what a Spartan Shield like those in "300" would be considered in game terms for Pathfinder.
Some have said that they are considered Heavy shields since they can be used for a Shield Bash. Others have said those argued a heavy shield is too small.
The Tower Shield was another consieration, but I have pointed out that the shield used by the Roman Legionnaires in "Gladiator" are tower shields.
One option that was suggested was use the AC bonus for Tower shields as well as the ability to use it as cover. Modify the Max Dex bonus and the AC penalty, and also the weight. There's still disagreements for the shield bash damage and the spiked damage, also. Weight, we were thinking of decreasing it down to about half.
Opinions?
