On a side note, how would the people here feel about a guy who fights with 2 shields? And I don't mean "bladed, weaponized bucklers" like the Vikings did. I mean 2 non-offensive Tower Shields.

My reason behind this idea: THE WALL.

EDIT: .....Now I notice the small irony here.... That could be pulled off, in theory, but it would be quite difficult. The only way I see that working is if the user has enough strength to swing The Two Towers around with, dexterity and skill to avoid creating constant massive openings, and endurance to keep the tower shield flailing with coordination up.

A major inherent flaw I see with this problem is that having two tower shield will result in a massive target profile, requiring considerable Aura to cover.

Yes once Aura is depleted the possible OC can hide behind Mordor and Eisengard for considerable extra protection, but with the reduced mobility, limited offensive options (particularly the nonexistent ranged options, save for one very demanding option), increased target profile, and considerable prolonged exertion, is it worth it
