Considering that some shields have very poor coverage like the Clan Warrior's Targe and the Wildling's "large" shield, I wonder if it'd be worth it to introduce a shield type that's an off-hand weapon first and a projectile deflector second. Perhaps shields of this class could increase bash damage from 2-3 to 6-10?
I think it'd be a worthwhile concept to play around with since targes were historically as much of a weapon as they were designed to deflect sword blows. This could also allow for different perk options relating to shields for other classes.
