The bonus stacks with the adjacent Team Member’s Shield bonus (i.e., he/she can receive an AC bonus from two (or even three) shields)."Now, people need shield proficiency (but don't need tower prof.) to be a member and get protected by you, which may be annoying.  It really depends on group.  In mine, it was quite literally a draconic group, in every sense.  Almost all had dragon blood, and almost all mixed martial classes with casting ones.  The only one that had no casting ability was still an anthropromorphic crocodile Dragon Shaman.  So, pretty much the whole party was eligible to join for that teamwork benefit, and several had poor AC.  In fact, the aforementioned croc was what 4E would call a striker.  He did the crazy damage, with a large greatsword and strength in the 30's, so my character on many occasions ended up keeping him alive from desperate enemy attacks en mass.</blockquote>
