Default Re: If Giants existed in BC times...

I guess it's how you thing about the shield affecting defense. I think shields give additional defense equal to the parry value, but on a shield hit, you still get damaged, minus the protection of the shield.

Even though Lead Shields have good protection, their low parry value means that they are rarely hit, so they don't help much in melee. A Shield of the Accursed should eat a whole lot of hits for you because of the high parry.
