How does one rotate a shield that’s strapped to your forearm?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

It has a lazy Susan in-between your arm and the shield. This also lets you spin it fabulously for celebrations.

Clearly it's a handle grip, not strapped. Most shields are, it gives greater mobility and utility.

You’d have to be really strong to hold a shield that large, with that much steel reinforcement, without strapping it to your arm.

Dwarves are known for being pretty strong, aren't they?

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Definitely stronger than humans, pound for pound, but probably not as strong as gorillas!

You ever see a gorilla with no hair, those guys are jacked

Not every shield is strapped down. Though I agree this one is a bit big for just a center grip

You could rotate it before battle to your preferred position, but not rotate it mid battle.
