Poisoning your opponent is a sure way to get the upper hand in battle. One method is to simply coat your weapon with poison. However, this is not a terribly effective means to administer poison as it can easily get wiped off the blade during the heat of battle, so half the time it works and half the time it fails. You can see what poisons are on a weapon by <tt>WEAPONPROBE</tt>.

While any dunce can hold a shield and protect an arm, by practice and training you are able to position your shield by second nature, allowing further protection to your arm wielding the shield as well as your head, chest and gut. Note that while it is physically possible to wield two shields, doing so is so cumbersome that you will lose all benefit from both shields.
