Shield Knight

You have trained extensively to master the shield, to not only use it defensively, but offensively as well. Gain the following benefits:

• When attacking with the shield, it is considered a light weapon that deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage.
• When defending with the shield, you can assume a defensive position as an action. You gain advantage against being shoved or grappled, and gain ½ cover, but become disadvantaged against enemy melee attacks and your speed drops to zero. Allies must purposely position themselves behind you to gain the benefits of cover, if they are within 5ft of you.
• Your shield provides an additional +1 AC when equipped. You may only benefit from this feature on a single shield.
