I found this on AG's transcription of the patch changes, under "General Fixes":

- Fixed issue with Item Weights being wrong for extremely heavy items (such as the
Tower Shield).

The large shield weights 15 lbs, and the tower shield used to weight, in NWN, 19.4 lbs - a very slim difference. The correct weight, according to 3.0/3.5 PnP rules, is 45 lbs for the tower shield. I'm sorry to say, then, that this is not a bug; it's a fix.

It is awfully heavy. I'm not sure if a simple server-side-only override could change that to something lighter. I suppose tower shields with weight reduction would become quite a prize though.

It makes some sence though... Lucias had to sell his tower and get a large... Hes not a front line fighter.. and as such should not be weilding a tower around in the city like one..
Keldorn and other front line warriors.. have the strenghth to weild such items of war....

I suppose it does bring the shield more in line with its huge -10 Armor check penalty and -50% spellcaster failure... something which not even FULL PLATE MAIL can do...
