rather than running shields as an armor, we should have a shield that while it is in the prepaired slot, it has an effect on your defense (perhaps only with certain weapons, making one handed pistols and knife builds more interesting).

Yay, now this is a great idea.

I'm for it.
But it will create need to distinguish onehanded and twohanded weapons, and all other sorts of problems.

Great idea... I'm all for it.

well it could just be a check for knife or pistol, two things the game already checks for (things that work in the prepaired slot when certain conditions are met). though if they go a step further, we could add concievably one handed weapons like a sawed-off shotgun or a sub machine-gun for the other builds, that arn't as good as the alternatives without the shield, but then can be used with them.

I really like this idea, gives the one handed builds something to look forward to. Eg sharpshooter and non-malicious knives builds. Possibly even fist-only builds? Or shield bashing? To balance maybe a slight speed drop? Also if it drops early enough in the game it would really help too!
