Becuase he still needs a WEAPON. The task he is attempting may be defined at least in part by his equipment. A character with two swords, frex, is clearly not going to have the option of the shield- bash. The tools you will certainly circumscribe and set a frame for what your characters do, but the question is: in the mechanical resolution of the conflict between *two characters*, does this detail need to be represented? I doubt it.
