These opaque, polycarbonate shields are about three feet tall and one foot wide with a slight curve. Cops use them to deflect bottles, rocks and the fists and weapons of rioters. Police officers also use riot shields en masse for quick crowd control. Riot shields aren’t bulletproof and offer no protection against firearms. However, unlike other shields, they do offer protection against thrown weapons, like bricks or hatchets. A character wielding a riot shield in combat can count his full Defense (including the shield’s +2 modifier) against thrown weapons. Prisons arm some guards with electrified riot shields. Any subject who comes into contact with such a shield must succeed on a Stamina roll. Failing this roll causes the subject to fall down and be immobilized (but conscious) for a number of turns equal to 5 minus his Stamina score. Electrified riot shields cost ●●●.
