There is a Large Shield +2 in TotSC. Better in general, only not as good against missiles.
In my current fake multiplayer party, I have four chracters who use shields, one of which is a Druid who can only use Bucklers and another is a Paladin, who switches between Long Sword + Shield, Two Handed Sword and Crossbow. The others are a Fighter, wielding Battle Axe + Shield and a Cleric; War Hammer + Shield.
The rest are a Mage: Quarter Staff, Darts and a Mage/Thief: Short Sword, Short Bow.
