“

I knew it was going to be a hard fight when he materialized a shield before my blow could land

Prerequisite: Requip Warrior

Through training and constant use; you've honed switching equipment in the heat of battle to the degree where it's become second nature. You master every requip you own to a high degree and are always thinking forward as to which weapon you have is best for the next sword stroke and which armour you have is your best defense against the enemy's next plot.

Requip Veteran Path Features

Requip Action (11th Level): When you spend an action point you can use any Requip power you have as a free action, this does not expend a use of your encounter requip powers.

Master of all Defense (11th Level): Your Master of all combat power now grants you the effects of all types of armor/shield specialization and unarmored agility. You thus gain a +1 feat bonus to AC light or heavy armor and a +2 feat bonus to AC when unarmored or in cloth armor. You gain +1 feat bonus to reflex defense while using a shield. Your check penalty is reduced by 1 in chain or hide armor, and your speed penalty is removed in scale armor. You qualify for anything that any armor or shield specialization feat is required for.
