i have this open in another thread, but i noticed the description here and posted it here as well (especially since i saw no other thoughts on my thread [feels ignored....]):
ok, as i'm sure aleron would tell you, most people, with or without the use of magic would not be able to wield certain types of weapons one-handed and definately not w/ the use of a sheild as well. i was wondering if maybe we could introduce ways of having benifits and disadvantages to using shields, one-handed weapons (normal swords,axes, etc), two-handed weapons (most polearms, greatswords, bows,etc), or two-handed weapons w/ penalties for improper usage (a polearm weilded differently to allow the use of a shield)
