The following code was mostly written by trevius I just tracked down a small logic error that was making it not work. Tested on my server with and w/o a shield andis blocking 10% as intended.

In attack.cpp Line 561
REPLACE

/* Trying to add Shield Block AA, but this isn't working yet
	if(damage > 0 && GetAA(aaShieldBlock) && (!other->BehindMob(this, other->GetX(), other->GetY()))) {
		bool equiped = CastToClient()->m_inv.GetItem(14);
		if(equiped) {
			uint8 shield = CastToClient()->m_inv.GetItem(14)->GetItem()->ItemType;

			if(shield == ItemTypeShield) {
				switch(GetAA(aaShieldBlock)) {
					 case 1:
						RollTable[1] = RollTable[0] + 2.50;
                        break;
	                 case 2:
		                RollTable[1] = RollTable[0] + 5.00;
			            break;
				     case 3:
					    RollTable[1] = RollTable[0] + 10.00;
						break;
				}
			}
		}
	}
*/
	if (damage > 0 && CanThisClassBlock() && (!other->BehindMob(this, other->GetX(), other->GetY()) || bBlockFromRear)) {
		skill = CastToClient()->GetSkill(BLOCKSKILL);
		if (IsClient()) {
			if (!other->IsClient() && GetLevelCon(other->GetLevel()) != CON_GREEN)
				this->CastToClient()->CheckIncreaseSkill(BLOCKSKILL, -10);
		}
		
		if (!ghit) {	//if they are not using a garunteed hit discipline
			bonus = 2.0 + skill/35.0 + (GetDEX()/200);
			RollTable[1] = RollTable[0] + bonus;
		}
	}
	else{
		RollTable[1] = RollTable[0];
	}

WITH

if (damage > 0 && CanThisClassBlock() && (!other->BehindMob(this, other->GetX(), other->GetY()) || bBlockFromRear)) {
		skill = CastToClient()->GetSkill(BLOCKSKILL);
		if (IsClient()) {

			bonus = 2.0 + skill/35.0 + (GetDEX()/200);
			RollTable[1] = RollTable[0] + bonus;
		}
	}
	else{
		RollTable[1] = RollTable[0];
	}


	if(damage > 0 && GetAA(aaShieldBlock) && (!other->BehindMob(this, other->GetX(), other->GetY()))) {
		bool equiped = CastToClient()->m_inv.GetItem(14);
		if(equiped) {
			uint8 shield = CastToClient()->m_inv.GetItem(14)->GetItem()->ItemType;

			if(shield == ItemTypeShield) {
				switch(GetAA(aaShieldBlock)) {
					 case 1:
						RollTable[1] = RollTable[0] + 2.50;
                        break;
	                 case 2:
		                RollTable[1] = RollTable[0] + 5.00;
			            break;

						break;
				}
			}
		}
	}

Basically just swaps twi blocks of code to avoid shield block % from being overwritten.

Whats the policy for items AAs and the SQL to enable them. Since this is a database specific thing to enable the shield block, is that something you just want individual DBs to handle? And just have the code read in the server for when they want to enable it.
