|summary=You are the ultimate master of sword-and-board. Or, if you're feeling creative, you could try board-and-board instead.
|prereqs=
|benefit= This feat grants benefits that scale with the character's [[SRD:Base Attack Bonus|Base Attack Bonus]].
|bab0=You retain your shield bonus to AC when you make a [[SRD:Shield Bash|shield bash]] attack against an opponent. You may also deal bludgeoning damage equal to normal shield spikes damage when you attack with a shield, which has a flat offensive enhancement bonus equal to the total value of the defensive enhancements placed on it (to a maximum flat enhancement of +6). Adding shield spikes now increases the damage of the shield by one size category.
|bab1=You may add your shield bonus to your [[SRD:Armor Class#Touch Attacks|touch AC]] so long as you are not caught [[SRD:Flat-Footed|flat-footed]]. Once per [[SRD:Round|round]], you may also attempt to deflect an attack (including a [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attack]]) that targets you by making an attack roll. If your attack roll exceeds the roll of the attack against you, that attack is deflected.
|bab6=By spending an [[SRD:Attack of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]], you may attempt to block an attack with your shield in the same manner entailed above. When you deflect a foe's attack, you automatically have The Edge against them on your next turn regardless of your respective Base Attack Bonuses.
|bab11=Any ranged touch attack that fails to hit you is automatically reflected back at its source so long as you have a shield equipped, forcing the caster/source to take damage from or save against their own effect.
|bab16=As long as you have a shield equipped and are not flat-footed, you gain [[SRD:Cover|cover]]. Unlike normal cover, this cover does not allow you to make [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] checks without concealment, but it does confer the +4 bonus to Armor Class regardless of your opponent's position.
