Tower Shield Proficiency (Combat)
You are trained in how to properly use a tower shield.
Prerequisites: Shield Proficiency.
Benefit: When you use a tower shield, the shield’s armour check penalty only applies to Strength and Dexterity-based skills.
Normal: A character using a shield with which he is nor proficient takes the shield’s armour check penalty on attack rolls and on all skill checks that involve moving, including Ride.
Special: Some classes may automatically grant Tower Shield Proficiency as a bonus feat. Members of those classes need not select it.
