3.5.2. Shields may be used in any reasonable manner and still be considered a Shield.

How would we go about making a pavise that is as non-rules-offensive as possible? I was thinking of having the body made from a large core-less shield blank. It would be just as safe as a normal shield, and light enough that it landing on some scrawny 17 year old wont kill him, at least until forkbeard jumps on top of the pile.
The part I'm stuck on is how to make it stand up in a way that is safe and conforms to usual shield rules. Any sort of tripod system that was rigidly attached to the shield would be a entangle/broken arm waiting to happen. Any sort of longer "bottom" to the shield would just snap whenever it is kicked down.
My current Idea is for a non-connected fiberglass rod, capped and wrapped with foam, that is braced against the shield and the ground. It would be in no way sturdy, but I think that it would be hard to be hurt by this system, as long as the stick doesn't get pushed through someones stomach when FB kicks, jumps on, charges at, or otherwise destroys said pavise.
Thoughts?
