No reason to not let shields get in on the action.
Traditional Sword n board fighter could smash the target in the face with the shield then decapitate.
Oh no I didn't mean to imply shield bashing shouldn't be included just that I would prefer a more action role of dual wielding axes rather then fight with a more defensive approach of Shield bash, swing sword, shield block, repeat.
Nice suggestion. I got one for a shield.
Shield bash them, they fall down and then you pick up the shield with both hands and drive it down onto the top of their neck, decapitating them. That would be sick and I might have to change my mind and fight with a shield if that was in.
