I have a question about the rule in relation to "red" or Class 2 weapons breaking shields (3.5.1) and how that is normally interpreted. As a newb to the way of the Red, I am trying to properly understand the rules and this is one I am having a hard time with. It is ultimately at the discretion of my opponent to determine if my shots landed with sufficient force, but how does that relate to to red weapons and shield. My question is as follows;
Does/should the shield breaking shot be harder or more powerful than a shot you would take as a sufficient force blow from any other weapon? Or, do I have to hit your shield harder than I would have hit you for you to take it as a strike?
Thanks.
