Hands Free Shield Specialist

Not just a master of shields, but a creative wielder. You were taught how to create and use a special shield that fits into your armor in a way that creates hands-free protection. It covers your back like a turtle shell allowing you to maintain the traditional AC bonus of a shield while keeping both hands free for weapons and spell casting. If you wish to us your shield to shove or any other traditional feature, you must use an Action (Utilize) to don the shield and put away any weapon you may have had in your off-hand previously. Ideal for Paladins and War Clerics, be sure that your character has a clear reason/story that your GM approves of as to where and when you learned to make such specialized shields.
