Very french vanilla. Not sure about power level. Supposed to be reminiscent of Captain America shield, but not sure if it works.

Power level is about right, by comparison with Gorgon Flail. Deathtouch is a bit of a weird flavour for a hero's shield though: the hero doesn't always kill everyone he fights - in fact, he often tries not to. Merciless fights to the death are very much villainous in flavour.

Thanks. Yeah. I have the trouble that genericising names sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I'm ok with the flavour, as the opposing creatures always have the choice not to attack/block, and it only hurts people if they ask for it, but I'd be happy with a variant name.
