The problem with most armor rules is that the shield is classed as armor
and covered under the armor rules, when in fact it is used like a
parrying weapon.  Shield parries shouldn't be automatic, but should be
relatively easy.  The larger the shield, the easier, but with various
encumbrance penalties eventually overcoming the benefits of larger
shields.
