Halberdier Change

[Irolltwenties]

mmm, last i played the problem with halberdier was not its shield skill but the shields it could actually bring in.

at 6 shield skill a commando class can bring in the SKS and all the house craftable shields. halberdier share that same level in shield skill yet don't have access to even some of the most basic shields like the SKS

9 shield skill on halberdier would be OP, Pavisse already seemed OP to me (armour, damage (given crossbowmen don't scale in damage) and shield)

hero classes usually specialise in a given area. the royal guard shields, marauder slashes, warden shoots. there are some exceptions to this like the legionnaire (1h and thrown) but for that class it works. giving halb 9 shield skill is a tad high. you would have an easier time arguing that the legionaire should obtain 9 shield skill to supplement its 1h weapon mindset (surprising that it doesn't as the zwei shares the same shield skill on a 2h hero???)

the best case scenario for this class within reason would be to give it access to some of the more powerful shields and leave it's shield skill alone (or buff it minimally)

just my 2 cents, back to afg.

8 shielding and access to house craftables or just access to house craftables.  Sounds reasonable.
