Descrição
A throwback to an earlier age of armor making, sode are rarely seen outside of Crab lands. These mediumsized shields first appeared on Rokugan’s battlefields centuries ago and soon were considered a standard part of a warrior’s armor. Made of hide, iron, and steel plate, sode attach to the wearer’s shoulders and extend to the elbows. They provide excellent coverage and allow a mounted samurai to keep their hands free while still receiving the benefits of a shield. Use of sode has fallen off over the past few decades, but some tradition-minded Crab warriors wear them when fighting on the Wall or patrolling the Shadowlands, especially when wearing heavy, old-fashioned ō-yoroi armor.
A set of sode do not require free hands to wield, but cannot be wielded with another shield. While wielding readied sode, treat your physical resistance as 1 higher when reducing damage from projectile attacks (such as Martial Arts [Ranged] checks).
