Rules Nugget (GURPS): Shields, Size and Cover

This rules nugget looks at two separate but complementary items: the very simple interaction between a shield and its wielder's size, and the more involved matter of letting shields provide cover instead of a DB bonus.

FEND: Fully Enabled Defenses for GURPS 3e

Of all the rules hacks at the GURPS Diner, this is surely the least ambitious. It's a look at a simple, single, "for the heck of it" rules change: handling defenses with regular skill rolls, instead of the oddball "skill/2" mechanic.

As always, it's yours to use, abuse, or refuse, as you choose.
