|name=Shield ExpertShieldbearer
|types=Combat
|summary=You are the ultimate master of sword-and-board. Or, if you're feeling creative, you could try board-and-board instead.
|benefit= This feat grants benefits that scale with the character's [[SRD:Base Attack Bonus|Base Attack Bonus]].
*'''+0:''' 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.
*'''+1:''' 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 deflect an attack (including a [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attack]]) with your shield when it would otherwise hit you.
*'''+6:''' Add your shield's enhancement bonus (including the shield’s defensive enhancement bonusesBy spending an [[SRD:Attack of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]], if any) to attack and damage rolls when you may block an attack with your shieldwhen it would normally have hit you. Any non-numerical enchantments (those that do not grant a flat You also automatically have The Edge regardless of base attack bonus to AC) are not included in the shield’s enhancement bonus when determining the bonuses granted by this effecton any opponent whose attack you have deflected on your next turn.
*'''+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.
