Hi all, was just wondering why Large Shields of the metal type never drop anymore in random loot. This has been happening for quite a while now but just never got around to asking about it. You would be hard pressed to find one today. Searching in past posts does not offer an explanation. Their absence is not alarming, but more choices for players is always beneficial to a game of D&D, and a set of large shields made of steel, adamantine or mithral materials are a great complement to their wooden counterparts. They used to drop quite a lot in the years past, but I havent seen one in a long time now.

Where they removed from the random gen loot tables? Do they have a very low drop rate nowadays?

Any insight and help would be greatly appreciated!
