(Style, Combat)
You use your gauntlet to shield you from harm.
Prerequisites
Weapon Focus (gauntlet or spiked gauntlet), proficiency with bucklers and light shields.
Benefit
When using this style, if you begin your turn wearing a gauntlet or spiked gauntlet on your off hand, and you are not using that hand to hold or make attacks with any other weapons or shield, you gain a +1
Shield Bonus to AC. You lose this
Shield Bonus whenever you attack with your gauntlet or hold a weapon or shield in that hand. While receiving this
Shield Bonus to AC, your gauntlet or spiked gauntlet is treated as a buckler for the purpose of using other feats and abilities (though you are also considered to have a free hand). This feat acts as the
Improved Unarmed Strike feat for the purpose of satisfying the prerequisites of the
Deflect Arrows and
Snatch Arrows feats.
