Is there any known uses or examples of having a small shield as long as your forearm intergrated to the armor, at the afforemented place, like an additional security for polearm users? Is this even practical for polearm users or is it just cumbersome to have a wide plate of metal affixed to your arm?
Cheers!

From what I remember this was employed for Jousters for a period of time historically. An integrated shield on the arm of the armor. However it eventually was discontinued for better mobility.
A lot of different ideas were tried with Armor and weapons. The arms race between the two was a constant that kept making for new invocations and lots of obsolete weapons and armor.
