Greater Shield Specialization


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Advanced Player's Guide

Your masterful shieldwork provides even greater protection to your vital areas.

Feat Type(s)
Prerequisites
Benefit

Choose one type of shield (buckler, light, heavy, or tower shield) for which you possess the Shield Specialization feat. With the selected shield, you gain a +2 bonus to your Armor Class against critical hit confirmation rolls (this bonus stacks with that from Shield Specialization). In addition, once per day you may negate a critical hit, and damage is instead rolled normally.

Special

You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of shield.
