Missile vs Shield

[curtadams]

It could be that parried arrows hit the shield rather than the ground. Re Corwin's report, almost all the arrows will get parried but a few percent should manage to pierce shield + armor with good damage rolls. Likewise Meglobob's longbowmen will often pierce armor+shield even when parried.

I was recently playing EA Arcosephale and I'd also say archers do better than a straightup intepretation of the shield rules. Cardaces have parry 4 shields and should be fairly tough to archers but mine were having a lot of trouble.
