RE: (TFT) Minimum ST for armor?

["Matt Picone" <matman@mysticworks.com>]

Why would it "complicate mechanics" to say that shields reduce an
opponents chance to score a hit?

To me it sounds as simple as saying:

"Figures who attempt to strike an opponent who carries a shield suffer a
penalty to their attack roll based on the size of the shield:

Small Shield: -1
Large Shield: -2
Tower Shield: -3

"

Not too complex... but is it really right?
