I'm making a character who has been trained by the city militia to fight with a Short Sword and Shield. He gets 2 levels with SS, OCV only, and 2 with Shield, again OCV.
He has a CV of say 3.
He wants to do a shield block and swing his SS. Do the two weapons penalties apply? Does he roll with a CV of 7? 3 base + 2 shield + 2 levels. While blocking I assume he doesn't get the 2 DCV for shield and cannot contribute to a shield wall. Can he receive benefits from the shield wall?
I realize I can house rule it, but I'd like to know the base before house rules.
TIA
Roger
