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.... As downright hilarious and awesome as that would be, I have difficulty imagining how anyone, even a particularly large man, could effectively wield two tower shields at the same time. I mean, the point of A tower shield is to have a portable defensive barricade essentially, as they are usually large enough to kneel behind and cover up most of your body. Carrying one of those things around is hard enough, but two at once? And having to swing them around to different angles, or to attack with? Can't see that happening. Now, if a character was for some reason so utterly focused on absolutely nothing but being an indomitable human fortress and caring nothing for offense or mobility, then yes, I could see it. But that's about it for my imagination.
