That having been said, you might be better off using d12s. A d12 is
simple
to convert from a d6 (just double the numbers and round; a "6" to hit on
a
d6 becomes an "11" or "12" to hit on a d12) and you still have room to
add
die mods.

D12s are a particuarly nice choice, as you can just use the number of 
screens on the target as a negative modifier to the roll and the
probability
curve is fairly close to the produced by the shield rules in the book.
(level	3 shields are not quite as effective under this, but based on
what
I've seen, that's more of a feature than a bug.)
