Apologies if this question is in the wrong place, I'm old and get mixed up! :)

Playing Menace Under Otari at the moment and I've noticed something that seems to me to be odd.

Kyra has gained the Lion Shield.

So if the PC equips the shield nothing seems to happen re their armour class.

However if they activate Raise Shield while the shield is equipped they get +4 to their armour class.

If they activate Raise Shield while they are simply carrying the shield they get +2 to their armour class. This seems more correct.

I suppose the answer is to always have the shield carried rather than equipped?

The code specifically looks for all shields that are equipped when the Raise Shield box is checked. I'm guessing the PC has another shield that's also equipped.
