Brace (defensive object)

Braces are light Defensive Objects for deflecting blows, they are small enough that attacks do not generally take them into account. They typically function once and become useless. These Items can be made with improved Technology or Mystic Empowerments for added/enhanced effects. Bone items of Colossi, Dragons, and Trolls can be fashioned into powerful braces. A brace can ONLY be used for personal defense, the wielder must be able to see an incoming attack to deflect it, and their physiology must allow it.

Bracers

A bracer is band of strong materials worn on a limb which can be interposed against attackers – it does not require a hand to hold. Bracer items CANNOT be used to offset Extraordinary Results of an attack. These generally cannot be weaponized. Generally they weigh .5kg – 1kg.

Buckler

A buckler is a tiny disk of strong materials worn on a limb or held which can be interposed against attackers. Many bucklers can be weaponized. Light bucklers can be attached like a bracer, leaving the hand free. A heavy buckler requires the use of a hand. Generally they weigh 1kg or more.
