Mythic Armor Master AND Tower Shield

[KhaozKnight]

I was reading the Mythic Abilities, and found this

Armor Master (Ex)
You don't take an ARMOR CHECK PENALTY or incur an arcane spell failure chance when wearing light armor or using a shield (INCLUDING A TOWER SHIELD). In addition, the maximum Dexterity bonus of light armor doesn't apply to you. You can select this ability up to three times. The second time, it also applies to medium armor. The third time, it also applies to heavy armor

"When employing a tower shield in combat, you take a –2 penalty on attack rolls because of the shield's ENCUMBRANCE."

would this mean that the -2 to attacks because of the shield's encumbrance is cancelled with the Armor Check Penalty, or would it still stand?

[KhaozKnight]

self bump, since my thread is getting buried... and it's been nearly 5 hours.. anyone? no one else shares my doubt?

[Alski]

You still get the -2 penalty because that is seperate to the armor check penalty.

[Victor Zajic]

yeah, it's not armor check, it's a special quality of towers shields.

[Claxon]

The -2 to attack rolls would still apply. It is separate from and not equal to the armor check penalty.

thank you all for answering my question
