I managed to kill an unrisen oracle in Armadillo with a bunch of blind knights because he got swarmed, had said shield, and couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. Even though all the knights around him couldn't do any damage, eventually he routed do the turn limit, and then was killed when we got to the hard limit. If he had a charcoal shield instead he would have killed all my knights instead.

I was the Agartha player in that game. I had done my best to make the risen oracle into an SC with only level 2 construction. That meant boots of the behemoth, plate armor and 2 shields. I was lucky enough to be able to trade to get the eye shield. But a charcoal shield would certainly have been preferable in that case. Except if I could have made a charcoal shield, I would have also been able to make a fire brand. I don't know if it would have been necessary to have both a fire brand and a charcoal shield. blinding the enemies with the eye shield would have made it easier to kill them with a sword.

That was a very... strange fight. A bunch of blind knights stumbling around trying to kill a giant... pillow sack of an undead king. Felt like a Montey Python skit.
