Anti Shield/Alternative Shields

[BlKnight]

Some people Rp, or are planning to RP characters (when kingdoms come out) that would look silly with a shield. For instance clerics, assassins etc.

There needs to be some major handicap to using shields, possibly speed and endurance. Otherwise make alternative shields like guantlets or work cloves. Or for an assassin have a cloak that hangs over the unarmed hand. Maybe you can't imagine it but I have seen this is some pictures, with a street duelist or mercenarry or assassin has a dagger or sword in one hand and his cloak extending to his hand with his anarmed hand clutching it.
