Vortex Blade Shield Stance (3.5e Maneuver)

You spin your blade around at maddening speeds, deflecting the entire volley of arrows in all directions.

While you are in this stance you can gain the benefits of Improved Deflect Arrows without consuming attacks of opportunity. You do not need a hand free to perform this.

You can even deflect rays and siege weapons, provided you have a magic weapon to deflect them with. Against rays and siege weapons you must win on an opposed attack roll to deflect them successfully.
