[QUOTE="Nyrahil, post: 243276, member: 4840"] This PrC is for my Asgard-Campaign, and I made a couple of changes to my last version with regards to playability and the background in the real world. She has gained a few offensive capabilities, but still has her defensive capability. I still need some feedback, because I might have missed a few things and I don't know how balanced this PrC is. Shield Maiden Shield Maiden are female Fighters, who specialize in the use of their shields and can protect others with it. They are much sought after by men especially by the nobility. They often serve a patron but don’t have to. Hit die: d10 Requirements Base Attack: +5 Sense Motive: +4 Innuendo: +4 Feats: Combat Reflexes, shield proficiency, shield expert Special: Must be female Class skills climb, craft, innuendo, jump, listen, ride, sense motive, spot, swim Skill points at each level: 2 + Int modifier level Bab fort ref will ac special 1 +1 +2 +0 +0 +0 Weapon-Shield Fighting 2 +2 +3 +0 +0 +0 Improved Shield Bash 3 +3 +3 +1 +1 +1 Maiden’s Shield 4 +4 +4 +1 +1 +1 4-Eyes and 2-Minds 5 +5 +4 +1 +1 +2 Strong Shield 6 +6 +5 +2 +2 +2 Two-as-One 7 +7 +5 +2 +2 +3 8 +8 +6 +2 +2 +3 Mighty Shield 9 +9 +6 +3 +3 +4 10 +10 +7 +3 +3 +4 Two-are-One Class feature Weapon and armor proficiency The shield maiden is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light and medium armor and shields AC The shield maiden recieves a dodge bonus as listed to her and her charges ac while protecting her charge with a shield.

Improved Shield Bash The Shield Maiden gains the Feat Improved Shield Bash even if she does not have Power attack. Maiden’s shield If the shield maiden uses a total defense action she may try to block a number of attacks against herself or her charge with her shield (opposed attack roll; magic shield bonuses count as bonus to her attack roll for this) equal to her total of Attacks of opportunity, if both are within 5ft of each other. The shield maiden has to declare her charge at the time she makes her initiative roll. Four-eyes and two-minds If the shield maiden and her charge are within 5ft of each other both gain the alertness and skill focus (Sense motive) feats. Strong Shield The damage a shield makes is raised as if it has grown to one size larger then it is. Large shield 1d6, small shield 1d4 Two-as-one Due to her extensive training in protecting her charge the shield maiden may now occupy the same 5-ft square as her charge if she is protecting the charge (uses the Maiden’s shield ability).
