I think a combination of Classic and Legacy is probably best, with the penalty applied immediately and lasting one full turn.

Consider the following situation under Legacy

Turn One
Zerxerat (DX 13) wins initiative and attacks Marmuk (DX 13), inflicting 5 points of wounds. Marmuk is now at adjDX11. He attacks, rolling a 12 and misses Zerxerat. Arja-Arjani (DX 11) shield rushes Marmuk. Marmuk's adjDX is back to 13, and he rolls 13 to save from falling.

Turn Two
Zerxerat shield rushes Marmuk, who rolls 12 and avoids falling. Marmuk attacks Zerxerat and hits ...

Now under Classic

Turn One
Zerxerat (DX 13) wins initiative and attacks Marmuk (DX 13), inflicting 5 points of wounds. It is still the same turn, so Marmuk attacks, rolling a 12, and hits Zerxerat. Arja-Arjani (DX 11) shield rushes Marmuk. Marmuk's adjDX is 13, and he makes his rolls 13 to save from falling.

Turn Two
Marmuk's adj DX will be 11. Zerxerat shield rushes Marmuk, who rolls 12 and falls ...

Now under Combination

Turn One
Zerxerat (DX 13) wins initiative and attacks Marmuk (DX 13), inflicting 5 points of wounds. Marmuk's adjDX11. He attacks, rolling a 12 and misses Zerxerat. Arja-Arjani (DX 11) shield rushes Marmuk. Marmuk's adjDX is still 11; he rolls 10 to save from falling.

Turn Two
Marmuk's adj DX will be 11. Zerxerat shield rushes Marmuk, who rolls 12 and falls ...

If Marmuk had stayed standing, his ajdDX for his action this turn would return to 13.
