(Combat)
You can use your shield to protect your most vulnerable parts from area effects.
Prerequisites
Dexterity 13,
Shield Focus,
Shield Proficiency.
Benefit
While using a shield of the type to which your
Shield Focus feat applies, you gain a bonus on
Reflex Saves against area of effect attacks equal to your shield's base bonus to armor class plus any bonuses granted by feats or class abilities. This does not transfer any enhancement bonuses on a shield to
Reflex Saves.
