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.

Is 'Medium shield' - one you added in yourselves? - In the ITL / AM books it goes straight from Small shield / Spike shield / Large shield / Tower shield.
What are the details on medium please?
