[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7420804, member: 6801845"] Would you consider a shield viable for two weapon fighting? If you hit with a shield do you still get your AC bonus? Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see some love for the sword-and-board crowd but I also don't want to see feats that replace older feats that are flat out better. As far as DPR, I can only speak for myself. I took protection fighting style because I can give disadvantage if someone attacks an ally, my build doesn't have to be all about DPR. However, as it stands in my experience the feat isn't very useful in my experience (YMMV). Having the flexibility to shove or knock prone before or after the attack is what made the feat work IMHO. The other riders have minimal impact. So I'm left with a feat that doesn't buy me much (again, YMMV I just don't see it) and nothing "iconic" for the sword-and-board fighting types like the other fighting styles. Oh well. :.-( [/QUOTE]
