Dual Shield Training

Through your extensive training and practice, you have learned how to use and take advantage of two shields in combat.

• Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You can equip up to two shields, one in each hand. Choose only one shield to grant its bonus to your AC. You have half-cover as long as you have two shields equipped and are not incapacitated.
• You can use your shield-hand to make the grapple or shove attack actions, to make gestures for somatic spells, or to use any non-weapon item (e.g. a torch or spellcasting focus). Non-shield items cannot be used as improvised weapons as long as you have two shields equipped.
• You may make one additional reaction per round, but only with a reaction utilizing or requiring a shield (e.g. Fighting Style: Interception or Shield Master Evasion), or to cast the shield spell.
