[QUOTE="W'rkncacnter, post: 8875997, member: 7033455"] i mean, yeah, but how often do you get to see such formations in dnd(-likes)? i mean...even if the shield is "barely standing", it's still in the way. i'd assume that's why. ...unless holding it while it's planted isn't the intent. but either way yeah, this should be clarified. i mean...if they can run around you and swing at your back then not really? because why bother pushing you or knocking you prone when your back is exposed to them anyway? also getting around you would negate that anyway (...like it would do in game, actually). i guess maybe so you can plant and unplant a shield on the same turn? but then that just raises the question of why would you ever do that. and you could do that anyway with two object interactions, it's just that one would take your action. yeah, i dunno, you're right, that's really weird. ...yeah, i give up, i'm just gonna hope one of the writers pops in and helps us sort out what's going on because i'm just lost now.
