[[Amazonian Parma]] is a [[legendary Crusader shield]] found in Reaper of Souls. This item is a Crusader-restricted item and will very seldom be found by any other class. The [[Smart Drop]] system ensures that this shield will usually roll with [[Strength]], or at least never with [[Intelligence]] or [[Dexterity]].

This item was added as a [[Seasonal Legendary]] during the PTR testing of [[Patch 2.1]]. The stats and visual should be considered a [[WiP]] until Patch 2.1 goes live. This shield was initially just a regular shield, before being switched to a Crusader shield, which is more appropriate given that the bonus property was Crusader only.


==Amazonian Parma properties==

The final stats for this item aren't yet set. Currently it can only be found on the PTR during Patch 2.1 testing. The [[legendary property]] seems likely to remain the same though, and it's obviously of use to Crusaders who specialize in the [[Phalanx]] skill.

* All stats listed in the database scale up to the level of this item when dropped.
* See the sample screenshots below to see how this item will roll at level 70.

==Trivia==

The item's lore relates directly to the Amazon culture in Diablo 3, which is focused on the island of Skovos and fairly similar to the mythological Greek warriors and culture of Earth. Hence the lore referencing a slightly name-changed Greek God ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus Hephaestus], the god of Blacksmiths and a famed weapon/armor maker), and athletic games that sound very like the ancient Olympics.
