In actuality, a successful shield parry totally negates the arrow.

Actually, that's actually how the manual says the missile equation works. Shield Prot should only come into play in melee, according to the manual.

That's not how I read "Damage is calculated identically to melee combat." |
How do you read the missile formula in that case? It's quite explicit about the shield effect. Can't quote it since I'm AFB but I'm sure you're familiar with it.
