Sure.  New skill and weapon.

Big Shield.     (Str)  damage, DB +1, Speed 1.  Special ability - provides
2 points heavy armor for locations  Upper Legs and Guts, provides 1 point
heavy armor for Shield Arm.
Small Shield.   (Str) damage, DB +2, Speed 1, Special ability - provides 2
points heavy armor for Guts.  1 point heavy armor for shield arm.

Fightin' Shield:  Aside from being able to Shield Bash, if your Fightin'
Shield skill is the same or higher as the melee weapon you are using, you
get to use the defensive bonus for both your weapon and your shield.
