|p=Small to medium [forged] shields are unlikely to beat tanned on the light end. You should try cutting that HC with a heavier metal and seeing if the defenses increase over tanned quality. To be perfectly honest, tanned shields are beyond broken as the designer used a small shield template for what should have been medium shields at various points... until C3.0 I'm hesitant to improve upon that too much just yet.

Large shields are another story and should easily exceed what is currently available in stores. We'll see how it goes. If folks absolutely can't stand where small/medium shields are going, we can re-evaluate it.
