Magical bonuses in multiplier: nope
Material bonuses in multiplier: nope
Number of skills used per round: 1 as always.

So no matter if you are using 1 weapon, shield and weapon, or 2 weapons,
you can only use 1 skill around, and in case defense.  So if you are
using a shield and sword, you can multi attack with the primary weapon,
or you can use defense with the shield, not both, but you still get
your 1 attack.

If you are using 1 weapon, same thing, you use defense with that 1 weapon,
get your bonus, and then get your one attack.

If you are using 2 weapons, same thing, you use your defense with the
weapon you choose, then get your 1 free attack.

Also, since we will need a shield skill, then we will have to make it
cost more than 60, like 120 or something.
