Keep in mind that your opponent can generally 5' step into a more advantageous position on his turn. Thus you could find yourself -4 to hit him on your turn, but he can hit you at no penalty on his turn. I had two characters use Tower Shields, and I think they're fun to play. I think they're great for a combat cleric, since you can make yourself immune to AoO's from half the battlefield---useful for spellcasting. Not to mention their obvious advantage when dealing with opponents with ranged weapons.</blockquote>
