Etymology

A pavise is a type of large shield designed to protect the entire body, used primarily by archers and crossbowmen during the Middle Ages.

Trivia

• Radiant Dawn's US help description erroneously states that Pavise nullifies the effects of an enemy attack which is untrue as Pavise does not prevent poisoned weapons from poisoning the target. This was corrected in the European release.
