Power Armor -- Power Shield?

Tallor · 06-17-2016, 12:45 AM

I was thinking about how shields had gone out of style due to improving armor, and in modern days are seen as plastic riot shields or heavy-duty entry shields... and I realized: What if someone with power armor carried a huge shield? Power armor is already very tough, but the shield would be a tactical option--the be-battlesuited one would wade into battle, hammer the shield into the ground, and move from there. Other, "softer" allies could use the shield as cover as they moved up from one position to another.

What do you think?
