Cloak (2) You can use a cloak effectively in combat as a shield and to distract an opponent. It stops 1 hit like a small shield and it also gives an opponent a penalty of -1 DX in attacks against the cloak user.

Maybe just the DX adjustment and cost only 1 point to learn?

Shield Bash (2) A character with this talent can attack with a small, spike or large shield. For damage purposes use barehands damage. For a small shield use damage as given +1, for a large shield use +2. Spike shields do damage as listed in Melee and ITL. A character with this talent can use a small, large or spike shield in hand to hand combat in lieu of a dagger or main-gauche. The shield doesn't stop any hits when it is being used to bash or in HTH.

Not to be a party-pooper, but anyone with a spike shield can already attack with it for 1d-2 damage. That's less than a ST 11 character using this talent would do with an unspiked small shield. If you instead let the spike shield do an additional +1 damage to your suggested ST-based damage, you'll have a large shield in the hands of anyone ST 11+ doing as much damage as a two-handed spear, which seems wrong.
