I've heard the shield v's no shield argument before. Personally, I find most characters can't take the loss in armour class until the final chapters, so to make the game easier throughout, I would argue a shield is an essential. I know the old nutmeg, 'but ToB', however, it is only an add-on and as such even with it, 50% of your game time will be made easier by shields. As to sword and shield style, its not so useless as to not warrant a few proficiencies if your going gaming with a shield all the time. Also, I though the cloak of mirroring (or whatever)was not 100% a stopper, and only good for spells below a certain level. I know, its a dumb addition to the game, it really makes life a tad too easy, then again how many times have you come against nigh invincibles critters with 100% magic resistance, not quite as bad as getting your nasty magic back to you, but irritating nonetheless. I'll give you the gaxx ring though, that would be overkill....
