-Depending on the size of the shield the cover can be either 50/90% (or both).  The barrier value of the shield is equal to 2x Deflection + Absorb.  Shield cover can be maintained while moving but any actions suffer an additional -2 (in addition to cover penalties).  The shield cannot be used for any other actions while maintaining cover (cannot both get shield cover bonuses AND use it to block or bash), nor does it count towards the character's armor when used in this fashion.
