Water kineticist and shield feats


Rules Questions


I am currently playing a gestalt character water kineticist/fighter. I am wondering if the shroud of water count as a shield for Shield focus and Shield specialization. My feeling is toward no because it seems to only be a source that give shield AC and not an actual shield.

If yes, can source like the Shield spell also be chosen for Shield Spec.


I'd definitely say no, as neither the Shroud of Water or the Shield spell are actual shields; neither can be used for shield bashes.

Now, if Shroud of Water said "functions as a heavy shield", then yeah, that'd work.
But it doesn't.
