A dueling long shield is a double weapon which grants the wielder a +2 shield bonus to AC when wielded. It is typically used as a protective two-handed weapon rather than a double weapon. Unless the wielder has the [[SRD:Improved Shield Bash |Improved Shield Bash]] then she loses her shield bonus to AC for 1 round if she uses the dueling long shield to make an off-hand attack.
