Another short set of house rules pertaining to Pathfinder.
Shield
Shields work as per Pathfinder Core Rules however A Buckler or Hand Buckler gains +1 to AC, A Small Shield +2, A Large Shield +3 and a Tower Shield +4.
in addition Rogues are proficient with the Buckler and Hand Buckler but not other shields.
These changes are to give shields a bit more oomph , to simplify things re: the buckler which I think is needed, and to swashbuckler up the Rogue.
Hand Buckler
This weapon and defensive device is a widely carried personal protection defense item o. It functions as a buckler save that it fills the hand. Someone proficient with a hand bucker can also use it as an offhand weapon without loosing its +1 to AC . In that us it is a light weapon with the following stats
Small Weapon 1d3 Medium Weapon 1d4 Crit: 19-20/x2 — 1 lb. B
All other stats and costs are as per a Buckler.
And yes, this item is a way to try and bring historical buckler fighting into Pathfinder without dropping the somewhat silly but fun and fair rules we have now .
