@dungeons Now we have a 2-handed crossbow. I will be voting shield, just so you all can make plans now. 2Γ1HLT weapons are usually my go to choice, with lance & shield as a melee only alternative. Now though, itβs nothing but shield, shield, shield. Vote me down!
In the bot, no. In 5e they can be used for limited damage, but not even as much as improvised weapons. Lots of GMs create local rules where one can. I have daydreamed about that also. Imagining a sheildmaidens/sheildmen specialist where they get to make clubbing attacks with the shield and have special abilities such as extending +1 AC to their nearby companions. Ahhh⦠daydreaming time again.
