Vanguard Ward

(Style, Combat)

You strongly defend your allies.

Prerequisites

Bodyguard, Combat Reflexes, Vanguard Style, proficiency with light or heavy shields.

Benefit

While using Vanguard Style, when an adjacent ally is attacked or required to make a Reflex Save, you can expend a use of an attack of opportunity to use both Bodyguard and Vanguard Style to protect that ally. You can also lose your Shield Bonus to AC to grant your ally a Shield Bonus to AC of the same value for as long as that ally gains a bonus to Reflex Saves from Vanguard Style.
