Pavise

Rare 60 GP

Described in: Core book

Nicknames: bulldozer / the wall

Description

Pavises are Avalon’s biggest type of shield. Each pavise houses a field generator that exerts enough force to push a Knight in meta-armour away from the ground. Gawain has found two applications for this side effect. Firstly, the force field itself can deflect most incoming attacks. Secondly, when a pavise’s field receives an additional energy injection, it deviates air around it enough to create a vacuum effect ahead of it. Knights can use this suction effect to launch a particularly powerful charge capable of stunning all but the most resilient of adversaries.
Charging in this manner costs a regular move action, colliding with the target at the end of the move. A Knight already engaged in melee with their target cannot charge at them.
