Making this real short. I feel shields need more defense. I'm fine with the AC bonuses i just want something more beefy.

My idea:
Similar to the parry feat(maybe not a real feat as i can't find it).

Rules:
Any off-hand shield attacks that you possess (through the two weapon fighting feat) may be foregone in order to block an attack on your opponent's turn. You must choose which offhand attack is foregone before you make your attack action for the round. This must be used along with a full attack action(you must actually take the attack just on the opponent's turn). When an opponent strikes you on their turn after yours you may make an attack roll, modifier equal to the foregone attack, against their attack roll. If you beat their attack roll... attack is negated, damage is halved, something along those lines.

My question: does this seam reasonable? How would you do it? If you do not agree that the shield is underpowered in a defensive way feel free to refrain from posting due to disagreeing with the underlying cause of this original post.
