I'm still iffy on this one, I wanted a wide variety of improvised shields, but I didn't want to get too ridiculous, or to dependent on certain things as shields, however, in the end, I decided to go with a somewhat limited list in order to increase the chance of getting a post apocalyptic classic. I think I'll leave the general efficiency of these up to the individual GM, though I'd probably go with a Seashell<Plastic<Wood<Thin Metal<Carapace<Thick Metal approach to how defensive these actually are. Also, Shields shall be Splintered is entirely optional, though I think it makes quite a bit of sense with improvised shields like these, for further ideas and notes from D is for Defense, Part 2.
