*'''+0:''' |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. *'''+1:''' |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 deflect an attack (including a [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attack]]) with your shield when it would otherwise hit you. *'''+6:''' |bab6=By spending an [[SRD:Attack of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]], you may block an attack with your shield when it would normally have hit you. You also automatically have The Edge regardless of base attack bonus on any opponent whose attack you have deflected on your next turn. *'''+11:''' |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. *'''+16:''' |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.
