The trad-off for using the shield as I described is that you cannot parry
blows aimed at on landing on areas not covered by the shield. The shield
just counts as extra armor for those areas covered, provided you make a
single Parry role. Also, you cannot roll a critical parry with this method;
all you can do is make a simple success (though you can still fumble). And
of course, this use of shield use counts as one of your two melee actions in
a round.
