Well, considering your comments:

We started this setting as TL1-TL2 characters; as we moved forward (in a boat, to another place) we were "granted" access to certain TL3-TL4 weapons "from another era". I say "granted" because we don't know how or were to get such weapons, yet.

This situation? I think it was some sort of exploit from the GM. I mean, we got ambushed by archers and guys with slings "just too much". In the end we managed to survive; but, getting away was pretty-pretty-hard. And I must reckon it was (in part) due to GM intervention too.

The other thing is that we don't have "enough time", to learn new stuff, so we must pick carefully.

But doubtlessly, I want to get around this. Just wondering... With their "passive cover", are dueling shields an option?
