What if allow to equip both Two-handed weapon and shield, but place shield on the back of character and remove 20% damage blocking bonus? Stat bonuses from shield will remain active.
Pros:
- Two-handed weapon will not cripple squire/crusader with removing fifth inventory slot.
- This method doesn't require internal item registry change. (so, no code wipe as with [thread=261795]books idea[/thread])
- It will look badass!
Cons:
- Requires some modelling and scripting.
And you can add even more mechanics for this, like preventing backstabs and "attack from back" bonuses. But main idea is to use stat bonuses for squires/crusaders(/berserkers?) in two-handed builds, so it will be enough.
