A tactical shield is a small, mobile defensive plate you carry on
one limb and can maneuver to intercept attacks against you.
A hand wielding a tactical shield can still hold another object
and be used to reload weapons, but it cannot wield weapons
or other shields. You can use a tactical shield to make unarmed
attacks that do not count as archaic.
When you wield a basic tactical shield, as a move action
you can align the shield to grant you greater protection against
one opponent you are observing, which
grants you a +1 shield bonus to AC against attacks from that
opponent until the beginning of your next turn. The field and
advanced tactical shields grant you a +1 shield bonus to AC
when wielded, though this does not increase when aligned
against a target. The elite tactical shield increases the shield
bonus when aligned against a target to +2, and the paragon
tactical shield increases this to +3.
