For a long while, thought of using Katana with Shield made me feel distaste.
In Kara-Tur, Katana Sword is wielded one handed or two handed. There are no shields, just shorter companion sword named Wakizashi.
Why there are no shields in Kara-Tur?
... i don't know, but that's the Tradition.
... i don't want to break Traditions, so avoided shield use so far.
Then thought came to my mind - different nations fight different way. All depends on neighbouring countries, there are regional fighting styles.
... in Narfell, Katana Sword and Big Shield 'just works'.
... i've bought a Fireproof Towershield in Stonepeak (town to North of Peltarch, in Giantspires).
... will see how/if it will help me in fight.
