Subject says all. Does having more than one shield help in any way? (As it kinda should realisticly?) |

I dispute your assumption about the realistic benefits of using two shields. |

Only way one person really gets a good benefit from two shields, is if one of them is being held by the person next to them. Hoplite warfare is an amazing trick. |

The combat mechanics pull the best shield you're equipped with and use its stats (best meaning highest bonus, which in a shield's case would be miss chance). The only benefit to having more than one shield is to have a spare in case a limb is lost. That may change in the future; I would like to have dual-wielding items one day, but it's not even on the to-do at this point. Kep |
