Perhaps if a spear or other large projectile weapon hit the shield, the user of the shield would be affected by a level of slowness for each large projectile. Large projectiles would include spears, and possibly other weapons that are added later. Large projectiles such as a mountain troll's boulder or a projectile from a siege weapon would instatly destroy a shield, and put a person in a vulnerable state for a longer period of time, about 3 seconds, but the projectile would also damage ALL units in the area, including other orcs, trolls, or hired units of the same player. This would lessen the possibility of some players to enchant mithril with projectile protection 4 and then ignoring all ranged attacks. Boulders should also ignore the effects of galvorn, as they would be more comparable to a large flying mace than an arrow.
