Oh, hah, actually, I totally forgot, I put in something to, in theory, deal with a different situation that might help here. I think the only way to be would be if you spent all your XP in your shield abilities and such. And, I've got an internal timer where after 10 rounds (or 20, on a boss), every round everyone starts doing 1 more damage with everything, so as long as you survive for 20 rounds, you'd start doing enough damage to get through the shield ^_^. The actual situation this is for is when you've got no damage dealers alive at all, and lots of shield, so that the monsters eventually just kill you, but in theory it can be used the other way around =).
