Pilum
This tip of this heavy javelin is designed to break off and embed itself into a shield once it reaches its target.
Benefit: Like ammunition, a thrown pilum that hits its target is destroyed. If you hit an shield-using opponent with a pilum, he loses the AC bonus from that shield until he takes a standard action to pry out the remnants of the pilum.
