I'm just curious, but do the different shield types have a significant effect on combat for our class? I don't know exactly how many different names there are for the types of shields we have, but I do know that the hinderance level of certain ones varies by some margin. What would typically be suggested for a circle 20 paladin to use as a shield?

>theren tower shield... or ironwood bucklar

Both are excellent choices. I agree.

-Slaris, Tursa reness kad fruna.

I've used a theren tower shield ever since I picked it back up a couple of years ago. Bugger hardly is ever damaged and only costs 5 gold if I remember correctly.

I'm a Gnome, so hinderance of course is an issue for me. I currently use "a plain ironwood kite shield branded with image of a fierce shark." It's from Aesry, and I love it. It's ironwood, so it is definetly sturdy. Lots of neat shields on that island (Tower shields I think, kite shields, etc. Lots of variet)
