@dulu i think the equipment load should be a part of this but shoelds would be awesome for stuff like shield walls obviously a tower shield would give 100% protection but say a smaller viking buckler would give a 100% protection but only covers about 40% of your body so that would be a 40% chance of blocking 100% of physical attacks. magical attacks would need a ward and depending on the ward and strength of the ward depends on the amount it protects and the chance of it protecting i wouldnt make them plact holders though give em a use.
