Are nagas still good with shields?
Does anyone know what the situation is now, after the shield change?

Turgon: Do you already know new shield mechanics? Tower shield will make your firestorm more difficult
Charly: dont know exact mechanics
Charly: but form what Iv noticed
Charly: it make shields more useful early on
Charly: and harder to rid penalties later on
Turgon: yes, I think the same
Charly: works like armour now

The new formula is:
2/5 * shield_penalty^2 / (20 - 3 * racial_factor) * (27 - shield_skill) / 27
where shield_penalty is 5 for bucklers, 9 for kite shields, and 13 for tower
shields, and racial_factor is -2 for large species and formicids, 0 for
medium species, 2 for kobolds, and 4 for spriggans.
