I was thinking about shields. You could disable using setshield and introduce the concept of 1 handed weapons vs weapons that take up both hand slots and then implement shields.

You would probably have to re-do a lot of ganis and decide what should be considered a one handed weapon but I think in the long run it would be worth it. How the shield itself reduces damage is still up for debate, such as the def bonus it gives not counting if the player is attacked from behind. Would be a nice factor when choosing between katars or daggers, and would allow two handed swords and axes to have higher damage ratings (because then it would be balanced). Could maybe even have shield sizes so that not all shields can be worn by all classes.

Just a random thought.
