Am I the only person in support of a feat that lets you use a Tower Shield without the -2 penalty to attack rolls? Yeah it's a huge shield but Furious Focus lets you swing a scythe or a reach weapon as hard as possible once per round with no penalty to your attack roll and those seem like tricky weapons to go all gung-ho with.
Throw my vote on that. Of note though - there is a mythic feat that does that plus some -
Prerequisites: Tower Shield Proficiency.
Benefit(s): You treat a tower shield as having no maximum Dexterity bonus to AC, a -3 armor check penalty, and 20% arcane spell failure. You do not take a -2 penalty to attack rolls when using a tower shield.
Normal: A tower shield has a +2 maximum Dex bonus to AC, -10 armor check penalty, 50% arcane spell failure, and causes anyone wearing it to take a -2 penalty to attack rolls.
In addition, the level 5 Tower Shield Specialist ability does it as well -
At 5th level, when a tower shield specialist employs a tower shield in combat, he does not take the –2 penalty on attack rolls because of the shield’s encumbrance.
This ability replaces weapon training 1.
The archetype as a whole is a bit weak though, as I think there should be more allowing you to use the shield to better benefit your allies.
