However, I also wouldn't enforce that opinion if a Crusader player thought it should work without a shield. There aught to be a low-level counter that let's a Crusader leap in front of an ally to take the bullet for him/her. Shield Block would be that counter, if it didn't assume you have a shield. So I don't enforce the shield requirement.
