    A buckler is usually small and strapped to the outside of the forearm. An archer (or someone using a bow) can have a buckler strapped to their shaft-pulling arm and not the string-drawing one. It doesn't seem correct, but it can be done. Probably the reason a buckler is a buckler and not a small shield.

    I know i have read it in one of the books, but anyone can use a buckler while using a bow, but then looses the armor bonus while using the bow. it did however work with dual wielding weapons.

    I'll try to look it up sometime tomorrow.

    C'mon Silverstar, don't start bringing "real life" into these arguments.

    I don't think there's any way "in real life" that someone can carry 16 sets of platemail at the same time.
    :rolleyes:

    Thanks for letting me know the other instruments were quick item slots! That Horn that summons a few berserker warriors for me is sweet!
