The magical properties of the shield would still be operative regardless of whether the wearer cannot actually use the shield as a shield, so long as the shield is in contact with the wearer.

Does this apply also to shields with description saying explicitly that those effects appear when someone strikes the shield, for example charcoal shield? A bit many variables you guys are having here if you all insist on putting all imaginable real-life (physics, physique, etc) and fantasy (magic) mechanics into play. Probably hard to agree on anything...

Oh, my mental image of paralyzation spell varies somewhere between old D&D 'hold' spell and epileptic seizure. So it would be possible to get all kinds of nice effects (like spell victims randomly hurting themselves ). Um, it's a game, so if something bugs, saying that really it is like this might not be the best option to sway anyone...

Have to second Endoperez, on both points. Namely putting conversation perhaps to another thread and that it'd be interesting to see how it ends.
