Tower Shield Proficiency
You are trained in how to properly use a tower shield.
Prerequisite:
Normal:
A character using a shield with which he is not proficient takes the shield's armor check penalty on attack rolls and on all skill checks that involve moving, including Ride.
Benefit:
When you use a tower shield, the shield's armor check penalty only applies to Strength and Dexterity-based skills.
Special:
Fighters automatically have Tower Shield Proficiency as a bonus feat. They need not select it.
