Shield skills

Shields are part of the new cover based mechanic I’m working on, depending on the size of the shield you have to tell me what part of your body your protecting with your shield. The shield takes the damage for you if you get hit in that area.

When holding a shield it is assumed you are holding the shield in the proper location and it will protect you from damage to the standard area that the sheild covers. You can use a shield to block or not, any attack. Thou AP attacks cause triple damage to shields.

Holding a shield with a weapon gives a -2 OCV penalty (unless stated otherwise). You get no penalty if you are carrying no weapon in your other hand.

If a shield gets to 0 hit Points it has been destroyed and CANNOT be repaired.
