[QUOTE="Joker, post: 2862186, member: 826"] [b]Two variants for the Greater version[/b] [B]Greater Tower Shield Proficiency[/B] Prereq's: Tower Shield Proficiency, Improved Tower Shield Proficiency, Strength 17, Dex 13, Bab +11. Benefit: When employing a tower shield as cover you can still make a single attack at a -5 penalty. In addition, you still threaten (though make AoO's at a -5 penalty) while enemies can't make AoO's against you because of cover. [B]Greater Tower Shield Proficiency[/B] Prereq's: Tower Shield Proficiency, Improved Tower Shield Proficiency, Magebane, Strength 17, Int 13, Bab +11, Spellcraft 4 ranks. Benefit: Once a day, when using a magic tower shield of at least +1 enhancement and using it as cover you can deflect a targeted spell aimed at you in a random direction. Also, you gain a bonus equal to the AC bonus provided by the shield on saves vs Area effect spells when using the shield as cover. A couple of things. 1.) For the magic version, should there be some kind of check involved to deflect a spell or should it be automatic once/day just like the Wild Mage ability? 2.) What's the best way to determine in which direction it goes? 3.) This has nothing to with the feats per se but when using a tower shield as cover do you still get to take actions other than attack or does it cost a standard action (like total defense, the way I've been playing it.)? 4.) CRGreathhouse, what type of bonus to AC is that? [/QUOTE]
