Back to the shield idea

[Psyker]

yes, I know this was on the old forums somewhere, but when will the shield be more useful? besides blocking fireballs and arrows and making you faster, it does nothing else.

why not make it an npc where you can use the keydown command to hold your shield above yourself to block attacks from other npc baddies, sword slashes, and maybe even fireblasts? (not lightning, maybe it could go through your shield and shock you with some cool looking gani of some sort)

any comments, suggestions?
