Picked this up for the two shield wearers in my party that seemed interested in this. Honestly, there is way more in this than was expected. As I've read through it, it definitely opens up a larger avenue of actions rather than "raise shield & maybe shield block/shield of reckoning". I think my favorite part about this is the skill feats. Too often I've found players taking go-to skill feats, and I think (as our campaign goes on) this will really spice things up. The balancing seems on point, nothing game breaking. I kind of want to see what a whole party of shield wearers will look like haha! Great product!
