[Hsingai Altaica]

"3.4.3 ShieldsThis skill allows the use of shields in combat. The EL withthe shield is added to the AV of the shield being used.AV+EL is the total damage that a shield can block incombat without being broken itself."
8.2.2 F) Shields — When a Shield Hit is scored, the AV of theshield is the number of hits that the shield will block. lfthe value is exceeded, tbc shield is destroyed. If 50% ofthe value, rounded down, or tnore is inflieted tbc AV isreduced by 1. (See Shield Expertise).
*.6.2 EXAMPLE — Vlad has a Dodge Value of 3, an AV8 shieldand EL12 in the Shield. A Giant casts an EL5 LightningBolt at him. He tries to dodge. His chance is 30%. He fails.He now tries his shield. His chance is, 30+8+12, 50%. Hesucceeds. The bolt strikes the shield, scoring 29 hits. Theshield blocks, 8+8, 16 hits and is destroyed. Vlad takes 13hits and is left without a shield. (Had the shield been magicwith AV12, Vlad could block 36 hits and retain a usableshield).
Looks like 8.2.2 needs to be corrected.
