Allow training of Shields with shield in inventory only
This is particularly pertinent for Ogres and Trolls, who do not have access to bucklers and thus cannot don a shield at all without hideous spellcasting penalties which only go away after significant skill investment. I would go so far as to say this makes shield use a no-brainer decision for ogres - if they're pure damage dealers, they want a GSC, if they're mostly spellcasters, they will be crippled by a shield, unable to get out of that trap without actually wielding the shield and taking the crippling penalty, and thus still want a GSC. I thought no-brainers were bad.
