Is it possible to have a reduction of the defense penalty caused by stun/knockdown when using shield as compared to evasion or parry? It would be a nice boost to a defense which could use some more distinction from evasion, aside from the different stat checks and loss of off-hand abilities.

This sounds reasonable, good suggestion. I have applied some reductions to shield defense so that blind, stun and prone/sitting/kneeling are not as severe. I also reduced those for parry slightly but not as much as shield. Evasion remains unchanged.

While you're at it, is it possible to have the same reductions apply to encumberance? It makes sense, for the same reasons, but I forgot to mention it in my earlier post.
And since shield is now the win, shieldbash should be shield blockable (this makes even more sense). Nothing like hot shield-on-shield action.

There is already an encumbrance modifier based on stance, and Evasion is the most hit by it.
