but you can hit with sheilds, to get them off balance. this is what i think All sheilds can have the option to be used offensively. The option for it could be the the two cross sword things. If you use this option, you suffer a -10 weapon strength to stab, slash, and crush, but you get a 20% chance of stunning the opponent for 1 round of his combat. It will be a short stun for dagger users, but long for battle ax, and r2h users. So its balanced. Do you take the lower power, and 20% stun, or do you take normal power, and no stun?
