Total cover and shield

[Waldham]

Hello, is it possible to obtain total cover with a shield ?

For example, with shield wall, there are a standard cover and if the characters take the take cover action, there are a greater cover, is it right ?

With Knight vigilant dedication, an ally obtains a standard cover instead lesser cover.

So with a shinning shield :

Quote:

While raised, a shining shield moves itself to provide cover for your allies. If you have this shield raised and would provide cover to an ally against a foe by standing between them, the cover you provide increases one step. Thus, if you were to grant lesser cover, you grant standard cover instead; if you were to grant standard cover, you instead grant greater cover.

An ally will obtain from a character with Knight vigilant dedication and a raised shinning shield a greater cover, is it right ?

Thanks for your future answer.

There is no such thing as Total Cover, Greater Cover is the highest is goes. If an enemy were on the other side of a wall would wouldn't say they have total cover from you, you would you have no line of effect. Cover is just saying there's line of effect, but something is in the way which increases their AC/Reflex Saves against bursts/emanations.
