For the first time I chose to try out the tower shield and went all out in it. I'm a level 4 fighter/archetype tower shield specialist. So far I only have two questions:
Is there a feat or some other way that I can change the tower shield's full cover benefit from a standard action to a move equivalent action?
Also, I could use some clarification on the "tower shield training" feat. The feat reads, "At 3rd level, a tower shield specialist gains armor training as normal, but while he employs a tower shield, the armor penalty is reduced by 3 and the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed by his armor increases by 2. The benefit increases every four levels thereafter as per standard armor training; if the tower shield specialist is not employing a tower shield, the benefits to armor training revert to the normal bonuses." That's pretty cut and dry when it comes to how it effects your armor. Yet since the tower shield has both max dex limitations and an armor check penalty, does this apply to the tower shield as well? Does regular "armor training" (class skill of the fighter) effect the tower shield's max dex or armor check penalty?
A quick preemptive "thank you" to all those that take the time to read and/or reply... thx.
