Duban

Name: Duban
   Rank: Legendary +
   Type: Shield/Gauntlet
   Description: The Duban at first glance is normally overlooked as just a fashion statement, or a fancy sheath for those that are knowledgeable in terms gear. In fact, the Duban is rather an interesting device that Kolt was able to get his hands on. In terms of appearance, the Duban makes it's way into Kolt's apparel as a near flat black bracer like construct that reaches from just over the elbow of his left arm and completely covered the rest of his arm. Many at first glance take it as a fashion statement, but in fact, it serves a huge purpose for him. With a certain twitch of his fingers, a mechanism triggers, and causes the handle of his faithful lance to spring out of a hidden compartment within the gauntlet that was linked directly with the Nexus in the twilight. Though the features wouldn't end here. Like it was a switch when he would pull his weapon from the now revealed sheath, the gauntlet would seamlessly shift to what resembled a shield on his left forearm. The shield itself resembled that of a Spartan Aspis in size. In terms of look, it was like looking at a large metal round plate. It was impossible with the naked eye to pick up how the shield folded or unfolded. It was indeed a marvel of craftsmanship. Make no mistake,  the shield is deployable even without retrieving his lance.

   Strengths:

• Can block attacks that hit the shield
  
• Makes it easier to carry around his lance, also allowing him to hide it away.
  

   Weaknesses:

• Doesn't cover his entire body, so it's possible to just hit him elsewhere
  
• Doesn't do damage on its own.
  
• Catching him by surprise can keep him from getting to his main weapon
  

   Abilities:

One defense: As one would anticipate, this ability is based around the shield itself. Due to the odd make of the shield, it is able to recover 25% of it's durability every 3 posts, ensuring that it lasts for him.

Strength of the holder: A simple ability. This shield took some getting used to due to its size, and make. Kolt's body had to adapt to fighting not just with a spear and shield, but effectively blocking with said shield without harming himself. With the training he went through, the positive side effects left him with strength and speed bonus of 10% that increases by 10 for each rank past D up till A-rank

Just one thing needs fixing :D I would like 20% to be cut down to 10% :) then everything will be ready for approval.
