That actually isn't how shields work for missiles. If you make the roll to parry with the shield the projectile is stopped regardless of the prot value of shield or armour. Hide shields on machakan troops can stop jotun boulders just as well, if they make the parry, as tower shields against slingstones.
That . . . Doesn't seem like it should work that way. Besides, if it does work that way, then what would shields need protection values for?
