I'd really like to see HT lodging in shields and making them useless.

It's a pretty established battled tactic. If the enemy has shields, toss huge spears at the shields so they can't be held up and blocked with anymore. Would increase hindrance a huge amount and would make the effective shield ranks drop. Would be a great way to balance out the "shields make thrown useless" arguments.

Would also make up for LT having the stacked weapons and all if that.
