That is true, though it is worth noting that shields (as well as armor) have ST requirements in my game which keeps the number of heroes running around w/ tower shields somewhat manageable.

SMALL SHIELD requires 8 ST to use effectively
LARGE SHIELD requires 10 ST
TOWER SHIELD requires 13 ST

It is also possible to mitigate some of the shield penalties using talents. My revised version of SHIELD EXPERTISE, for example, reduces the DX penalty by 1.
