I'm just wondering if it would make sense to lower the shield skill requirement for the old kite shield to 0. Obviously, the hit points and armor for it should be reduced to be more in line with other shields at level 0. I think that this would help more players carry a shield due to the coverage it offers. The only option is that Viking round shield (test) that weighs 10.0 units! It still leaves your legs open too...
Honestly, how much *shield skill* does someone need to hold up a rotting piece of wood to protect themselves from arrows.
Thoughts?
