Create a new rule “That Grimy Kobold” as a subrule of “Creatures”:

That Grimy Kobold’s stats are: Strength-1 Dexterity-15 Constitution-12. Its loot is a Wooden Shield, a Potion of Toughness and a Potion of Strength. Its Health is 20.

When an Orc deals damage to That Grimy Kobold, that damage is reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 1).

(If a rule exists called “Swamp Sword”, replace “Potion of Toughness” with “Swamp Sword” in the Kobold’s Loot.)

Create a new rule “Wooden Shield” as a subrule of “Items”:

Affect: When a Creature deals damage to an Orc who holds a Wooden Shield, that damage is reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 1).
