Would it be feasible to create an "Armor" submission for shields of various sizes that could be used in dueling? Or would a lightsaber resistant shield (break in one or two direct hits) be unbalanced?
A shield wouldnt be classed as a "minor piece", just like a chest piece. so, unfortunatly no saber resistant material. There was a dicussion about shields on discord, and the above is just what was decreed by the tech authorties. You can submit a shield, it just can't be stacked with other armour. And subject to armor rules.
