One possible problem is that this scaling runs away for large and tower shields, making it basically required to fight with them. If I can take a -3 DX penalty while imposing a -6 DX penalty, I basically have to do it, no matter what else is going on. If both sides do this (as they should), all melee combat is fought at -9 adjDX. Oof.
