- Prerequisites: Journeyman Rank Any Martial Skill
Whenever you are wielding a shield and are adjacent to a friendly creature wielding a shield who also has this talent, the AC bonus from your shield increases, depending on the shield wielded by the friendly creature.
If they are wielding a buckler or a targe, your shield bonus increases by +1. If they are wielding a kite shield, heater shield, or a tower shield, your shield bonus increases by +2.
You keep these bonuses even if the friendly creature loses their Shield bonus due to making a Shield Bash attack.
