You are especially skilled at blocking ranged weapons with a shield.
Prerequisite: DEX 13+, Shield Proficiency.
Benefit: You may use a shield rather than your bare hands to deflect arrows. This works identically to the deflect arrows feat though larger shields are more effective than arrows. A small shield grants a +1 to your reflex save and a large shield grants a +2 to your reflex save. If the shield has a magical bonus, apply that bonus to your reflex save.
Note: While this seems more powerful than the deflect arrows feat, remember that the classes that use shields routinely do not favor reflex saves as monks do. The bonus the shield gives, particularly if it is magical, offsets this lack of concentration in reflex saves.
Special: A fighter may select this feat as a fighter bonus feat.
