Reflex Shielding [General, Fighter]

You add the AC of your heavy shield to you base reflex saving throw.

Prerequisite: Shield Proficiency, Base attack bonus +3

Benefit: When using a heavy shield or a tower shield, you add the AC of the shield to you base Reflex save. Any other AC bonuses that other shield feats provide, such as Shield Mastery (3.5e Feat) or Shield Expertise (3.5e Feat), can be added to the base Reflex save (see the examples bellow).

Special: For example, a level 1 fighter with base Reflex 0, uses a tower shield that provides him a +4 bonus to AC and has the Reflex Shielding (3.5e Feat)

1. he has no other feats that provide any bonuses to the shield, then is the fighters base Reflex saving throw 4
2. he has the Shield Mastery (3.5e Feat) besides the Reflex Shielding (3.5e Feat), then his shield provides +2 bonus to AC against a specified opponent
   1. if the specified opponent forces the fighter to make a Reflex save, then is the fighters base reflex saving throw 6 (4 + 2)
   2. if any other opponent is forcing the fighter to make a Reflex save, then is the fighters base reflex saving throw 4
3. he has the Shield Expertise (3.5e Feat) besides the Reflex Shielding (3.5e Feat), then his shield provides +1 bonus to AC against all opponents, then is the fighters base reflex saving throw 5 (4 + 1)
4. he has both, the Shield Mastery (3.5e Feat) and the Shield Expertise (3.5e Feat) besides the Reflex Shielding (3.5e Feat), and has specified the opponent for the Shield Mastery (3.5e Feat)
   1. if the specified opponent forces the fighter to make a Reflex save, then is the fighters base reflex saving throw 7 (4 + 2 + 1)
   2. if any other opponent is forcing the fighter to make a Reflex save, then is the fighters base reflex saving throw 5 (4 + 1)
