[edit] Shield Enchantment with 2-handed weapon

The Note in here implies that you cannot use a shield enchantment with a two-handed weapon. This is not true. Constant Effect enchantments on a shield will still work if you equip with a two handed weapon. --Brf 14:44, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

Good spot, I amended the note. --Benould^•T•C 15:09, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

I had been using an Ebony Tower shield with Constant Fortify Strength and a two-handed weapon. With the two-handed weapon equipped, you still get the shield armor bonus too. --Brf 15:16, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Use of Staff

Too bad you can't utilize your Block skill, sans shield, while wielding a staff. T'would be cool indeed. Any chance of a viable mod along these lines, or would it get too deep into the combat mechanics?

[edit] Training block

Does anyone know a quick way to train block?

p.s. Can you equip ant shield regardless of your block skill?

Sign your posts by putting four of these: ~ at the end of it. To answer your questions; a quick way of training block is to get a lot of restore health potions and armorer's hammers, a real tough shield, plenty of tough armor so you can stand there longer, and go piss off something weak like a rat. Then, stand there and let it hit you. This'll also boost the armor skill relevant to the armor you're wearing. Repairing the armor will bring increases to armorer or mercantile, depending on if you do it yourself or have someone else do so, and replenishing the potions will increase alchemy or mercantile depending if you make more or buy more. You can equip ANY shield, regardless of any of your stats or skills. 216.82.142.13 20:27, 11 June 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Fatigue

Does anyone know whether the Fatigue expended from successfully blocking is based on the weight of the shield you're using, or upon overall encumbrance? Thanks for any response. 75.62.197.225 05:40, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
