I find that a dumb idea. The whole shield system here is dumb in general.
Reducing parry skill for humans or etc, smaller wielding a bigger shield is
unfair. Also, it doesnt make sense, because , in general, a wall shield on a
giant is pretty much like a medium shield on a human. So maybe larger races
should get no crit reduction from using a wall shield? Dont know. In general
like so many other factors here regarding race sizes, theres an inherent
unfairness in the system towards larger races that needs to be mitigated by
tune issues from the wizards, imho.

Continuation of that thought:

why tune shields to favor smaller races, to iron out
those inherent unfairnesses in the current system?
