Improved Buckler Defense

[sam500]

Does this allow you to use a buckler with a 2handed weapon as well? Or does it only work with 2 diferent weapons, one in each hand while 2 weapon fighting?
Can one use a buckler with a 2handed weapon normally?
Cheers,
Sam

IIRC, the feat as worded only functions with two-weapon fighters, but in my campaign we house ruled it to be allowed for two-handed weapon fighters as well. Normally you could where a buckler and wield a two-handed weapon at the same time but you could not gain the AC bonus of the shield if you were attacking with the two-handed weapon. Again this is all as far as I know off the top of my head, since I don't have my stuff with me at the moment.

Hope it helped though

Just curious - has anyone run the numbers on bucklers vs. animated shields with and without those and other shield feats?

Not me, but bucklers win.
