[@Eklispe] Can confirm, they probably wont come out before the IC, as I'm away Thursday-Monday (not going to stop the IC though, dw!) and I have a few things I want nailed down :D I remember why I didn't add them up now: Origionally they were going to have Armor Values, but Armor is pretty OP so I've been limiting it - I think when some people become Intermediate students, or something, I might rework Armor to be a larger range system for more customisability.

Anyway, I think the way I'd probably do it now is flat damage reduction :3 Special shields may cause other effects (a mirror shield might blind an opponent, for example, if held up to the sun)

in the meantime, while I don't have enough understanding of them to build the Blacksmith section for them, I can probably throw a few out as rewards, so I'll add them to the loot chart.
