(TFT) Shields in TFT

[Michael Taylor <MichaelTaylor1@compuserve.com>]

A while back some people were talking about Shields in TFT being useless.
This is the system I use.

For people without the Sheild (6/1) Talent, shields work normally. For
people with Shield Talent you automatically get a roll as folllows:

Shield Type *   
Iron    ST 25
Wood    ST 20
Leather ST 16
Wicker  ST 12

* Magic shields multiply this x Magical Bonus

Each time you are hit roll 3d6

Sheild Roll     Protection this Round
3-8             Shield takes no damage, figure takes all
9-10            Shield takes half damage
11-18           Shield takes full damage

Modifiers:
Add Shield Talent Skill Level to Roll
Add Magical Bonus to the Roll

Extra credit if you can tell me where this rule came from...
