Shieldbreaker
Shieldbreaker
Forged by Hellbourne slaves, Shieldbreaker mauls appear to be little more than huge spiked clubs, but the despair and anger poured into their makers gives them the power to inflict massive harm. Each blow of a Shieldbreaker destroys some of its victim's armor, as if the weapon hungered to reach the flesh and blood beneath.
