The player seems to believe that standing behind a (large) shield is equivalent to standing behind cover. I am unable to disuade them of this notion as it kind of makes sense to me

The knight ducking behind a shield to avoid dragon breath is in so many pictures it seems to make sense as an option

You can't though block a speeding car with a shield in real life. I am talking about a massive weapon for a giant.
I suppose resolving the damage and knockback might make some sense, but a bit of damage to the arm seems dubious when you are hit by a two handed sword for a ST40+ giant.
I am also a bit unclear of when a shield take damage. Is it every block? or just where the DB makes the difference.
