Could someone provide the page number, or the actual formula? I don't have my manual (or even Dom3) here.

I'm not sure which ranged weapons aren't affected by shields, but AFAIK Boulders thrown by Jotun units can be blocked by Hide Shields wielded by unarmoured Machakan Spearmen.

page 77:

Attacker (missile) DRN: DRN + (size points in square) + (2 if magic missile)
Defender DRN: DRN + 2 + (shield parry * 2) - (fatigue / 20)

I always thought AoE missiles like the boulder (and AN missiles too) ignored shields, but I never tested either.

Boulders are not AEO as far I can tell.
