On a more important issue; will a Dwarf be capable of carrying a shield while using a crossbow in case he was forced into melee? Would he only equip the shield up close? How would it affect his ability to carry bolts in his off-hand? | On a more important issue; will a Dwarf be capable of carrying a shield while using a crossbow in case he was forced into melee?

: I set a team of marksdwarfmen to use crossbows and bucklers at the same time, once. Despite an assortment of available bucklers, no Dwarf ever picked one up to use with his crossbow. My guess is that Dwarfs can not ever utilize their second hand without releasing the buckler, and can't store the buckler anywhere else on themselves. --[[User:FJH|FJH]] 01:13, 27 February 2009 (EST) | : I set a team of marksdwarfmen to use crossbows and bucklers at the same time, once.

:::Toady has stated that currently (40d) the two-handed code is broken as intended. Where that leaves us is anyone's guess. But what "you'd think" or what "would only make sense" is right out the window. I do know that marksdwarfs use bucklers, not shields, when they do at all.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 04:59, 22 September 2009 (UTC) | :::Toady has stated that currently (40d) the two-handed code is broken as intended.
