Shield Expert [Combat] Benefit: This feat grants benefits that scale with the character's Base Attack Bonus.

• +0: You retain your shield bonus to AC when you make a shield bash attack against an opponent. You may also deal bludgeoning damage equal to normal shield spikes damage when you attack with a shield.

• +1: You may add your shield bonus to your touch AC. Once per round, you may also deflect an attack (including a touch attack) with your shield when it would otherwise hit you.

• +6: Add your shield's enhancement bonus (including the shield’s defensive enhancement bonuses, if any) to attack and damage rolls when you attack with your shield. Any non-numerical enchantments (those that do not grant a flat bonus to AC) are not included in the shield’s enhancement bonus when determining the bonuses granted by this effect.

• +11: 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.

• +16: As long as you have a shield equipped and are not flat-footed, you gain cover. Unlike normal cover, this cover does not allow you to make Hide checks without concealment, but it does confer the +4 bonus to Armor Class regardless of your opponent's position.
