What you're saying about the shields really surprises me. I thought those shields were mere decorations. Do you also know if a creature uses a weapon (like some Orcs do) also do more damage?
Also, when a shield is destroyed, does that creature's appearence change? It would be very strange if I wouldn't have noticed that! :D

Well, I have heard about that part of forest behind the Vulture Chasm, now it becomes more clear. Thank you.
About the shields - I meant another thing: creatures' lives and deathes depend not only on one parameter I call "health", but on two parameters, and I call the second one "shields". First blow, if it isn't strong enough, destroys only shields, and further blows deal with health(HP).
For example, lizard in Southern forest has 40 HP. It won't die after two 21-HP damages because of shields, but if you make a 2-HP scratch and then add two 20-HP blows, it would. That's how you can use rocks.
To kill that lizard in a single blow you have to make somewhere about 60-70 HPs' damage. (Just check this: sometimes Ak'shel would fail to kill it when he casts Spark:'IV' and then 'I', but he
always kills it using 'I' and then 'IV').
Parameter I call "shields" has no bearing to the appearence (although it is possible that orcs equipped with shields have more "shields" than the other ones, or they evade/block blows better).
