Shields

[aebrain]

Small shield - blocks 3 damage if the roll contains a 3. Thus 6.4.1 misses the shield. 2,1,3 blocks 3 pts. Otherwise ignore shield.

Medium shield - blocks 3 damage for every 3 in the roll. So 6,3,1 blocks 3 pts, 1,3,3 blocks 6, 3,3,3 blocks 9. Otherwise ignore shield.

Large shield - always blocks 3 as it's essentially used for hiding behind not blocking/parrying.

Statistically, on average the effect is almost the same as the rules as written, but it gives more flavour.
