Type: Combat Feat.
Prerequisites: Shield Proficiency; BAB +1.
You tilt your shield outward, creating a mobile canopy that extends your physical blocking surface to protect a nearby comrade.
Action: Move Action.
Benefit: While actively wielding a light, heavy, or tower shield, you can spend a move action to lock your guard onto one chosen ally adjacent to you (within 5 feet). Until the start of your next turn, as long as that ally remains within 5 feet of you, they gain a circumstance bonus to AC equal to the Shield AC bonus of your equipped shield. While maintaining this guard, you lose your shield’s AC bonus to your own defenses as your cover is turned outward.
Required for: None.
