Shield Warden needs a REWORK

[JardelBeserk]

As i said this level 6 feat (Shield Warden) is no fair for the poor champion that already has a reaction that do the same thing but better. Even if you have a magical shield the champion's reaction will grow better and better.

I know it's a impotant feat that later will allow you to pick feats like Shield of Grace or Shield of Reckoning but Shield Warden alone is kinda bad bad feat that you probably will not use because your reaction do as i said more and better things.

I really wish a rework in this feat.

Am i missing something? i wanna know your thounghts about it.

Well, missing the ability to use your bonus reaction from Quick Block, for one thing. Missing the ability to block attacks made by enemies that aren't within 15 feet of the champion, for another.

I entirely agree with Hammerjack.

I want to add that it mostly depends the campaign you are playing ( if you think you will be able to be in a large settlement to retrain ) and the DM you are playing with ( if he's permissive or not ).

If you know for sure that by lvl 8 you will be able to retrain the lvl 6 feat into a shield warden, in order to make an excellent use of it through the lvl 8 quick block feat, take something else until then.

If you know that you won't be able to do so, just stick with it and wait for the quick block feat.

Finally, Remember that you will need it to use shield of reckoning, which merges your shield block and champion reaction in one single reaction, allowing you to use double protection and also maintain a quick block for extra personal protection.
