I was really thinking about a spell instead of a talent.? I was thinking
more of a force field.

I kinda like the talent, but it seems redundant to Warrior/Vet, or the
actual shield talent.? Maybe this could be an expert skill with a shield.?
Prerequisite: Shield Talent.? 

Obviously someone's been watching "300" recently.? I like the shield work in
Gladiator, at the beginning.

Good Fortune,
Richard

If I am reading correctly, no spell is involved.  This is a Talent,
representing training.  Which, by the way, is quite historically
appropriate, and can be seen in action in a number of the better organized
units at the Pennsic War.  Think I'm going to borrow this one (of course, in
my world, it would probably be most used by the Legions of the primarily Orc
Greater East Trollheim Coprosperity Sphere...)  

Best,

Eric

I'd make the shield wall dangerous to employ.? I'd make it able to stop as
many hits as come at you requiring an intitial fatigue to cast it and then
blocking one point for every fatigue point you have left until you're
unconscious.? So, if you were intially 11 ST and you cast the spell for 2
Fatigue.. you're at 9 ST.? Then you are hit for 8 damage and your spell will
fatigure you 8 points instantly.? You can't control how many points you are
fatigued.? So, if you are hit for 10 damage, you'll be knocked unconscious
with -1 health.? If you were physickered, you'd recover.

Good Fortune,
Richard

And since we're discussing the odd new talent, here's one I had for a while
for?
a certain class of characters (still exists in my campaign, but can only be?
learned under certain circumstances):?
?
Shield Wall - IQ 9 - 1 pt. A figure with the Shield Wall Talent may, when
using a shield, add to the hits?
stopped value of his shield the hits stopped value of shields used by
adjacent?
friendly figures, provided that a) those figures also have the Shield Wall?
talent, and b) the figures share at least one adjacent front hex. ?
So you could lock shields, and in some circumstances get a pretty hefty
bonus. There's relatively few Talents that come in handy in mass fighting (
Tactics and?
Strategy being obvious exceptions). 3 guys in a row with tower shields are?
pretty impressive. ?
