How does one rotate a shield that’s strapped to your forearm?

It has a lazy Susan in-between your arm and the shield. This also lets you spin it fabulously for celebrations.

Clearly it's a handle grip, not strapped. Most shields are, it gives greater mobility and utility.

You’d have to be really strong to hold a shield that large, with that much steel reinforcement, without strapping it to your arm.

Dwarves are known for being pretty strong, aren't they?

Definitely stronger than humans, pound for pound, but probably not as strong as gorillas!

You ever see a gorilla with no hair, those guys are jacked

Not every shield is strapped down. Though I agree this one is a bit big for just a center grip

You could rotate it before battle to your preferred position, but not rotate it mid battle.
