So, as a paladin, I've tried on four different large shields, and they've all capped at "great" protection under the new system, while arm worn. My new jousting shield however, without DA, is high protection. With DA, it hits great, which I thought would be perfect. It stays at high however, buffed or not, when I arm wear it.
bug?
Its one of the older ones (this is while arm worn)
You are certain that it imposes fair (5/15) maneuvering hindrance.
This shield is large in size.
Your experience with shields allows a better appraisal of the protection capabilities.
You are certain that the shield offers rather low (3/19) to high (11/19) protection.
You are certain that it could do:
no (0/25) puncture damage
no (0/25) slice damage
very great (12/25) impact damage
You are certain that the shield is inadequately (4/13) balanced and is reasonably (7/13) suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the jousting shield is a bit safeguarded against damage, and is practically in mint condition (90-97%).
It appears that the jousting shield can be worn on the left arm.
You are certain that the jousting shield weighs exactly 100 stones.
You are certain that the jousting shield is worth exactly 40000 lirums.
Roundtime: 8 seconds.

>>DR-Kodius: Yes, all ranges changed with this release. No stats on the actual shields changed. So even if your shield is appraising as more hindering, it really isn't. The problem was hindrance ranges went up 3x what the most hindering shield allowed for, effectively ruining any kind of resolution you'd have on the appraise.
>>DR-Kodius: Yes you are just as effective as you were before. Arm worn caps did not change, but with the added resolution you may now glean more insight into how it works.
By the way, you are using outdated appraisal subs. You can download the latest version here: http://www.genieclient.com/bulletin/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=15
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall rank!

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the arm worn 'cap' is actually not an across the board thing. I'm under the impression that it's based at least in part on the shield's hand held protection and may be some percentage of that? Or something to that effect anyway.

which pattern looks like it is also plays a part.
Some other targes with lower Held cap, but higher worn than the Storm Bull Small Shield

<<So which skin/hide gives the lowest hinderance but with moderate arm-worn protection>>
You'll want the Ordinary Shield pattern if you want to minimize Hindrance while hitting Moderate worn. My testing is far from complete so there's possibly better options, but here's what I've got.
For the sake of comparison, here's a few of the targes
