Shield changes

[Alhanelem]

guess shield will only be DEF & stats for mages

You'll still be able to set those skills, but you'll have to raise gladiator to do it. For the most part, any con/thm using a shield probably already is raising gladiator, because it was a great way to get shield maxed out. but since you'll have limited slots for cross-class actions, that makes things more difficult.
