Shield is a pretty important part, so I'll specify that it's the Bloodstone Shield. It's the only shield in the game with the pretty distinct cross-shape on it, similar to Heathcliff's in the anime.
Any help for what I could change, in particular, the gauntlets and legplates to would be appreciated!
Ooh, I dig the gauntlet suggestion. I was looking for some gauntlets like that on which the color of the fingers and actual hand differ from the primary color of the forearm, and Ascalonian Protector gauntlets are perfect!
As for the sword, I was thinking more about the Gallant Sword, because of how clean and plain Heathcliff's sword is. But I do like the handleguard of Exemplar's Edge allot better
