A riot shield is a large slab of advanced material, normally
thin layers of nanocarbon over plastics and resins, and often
including a transparent aluminum view port. A hand wielding
a riot shield cannot be used for anything else, and changing
your grip from carrying a riot shield to wielding it, or vice
versa, requires a move action. Pulling out a riot shield from
storage or putting one away also requires a move
action. If you are wielding a riot shield, you
gain a +2 bonus to any bull rush combat
maneuver you attempt.
When you wield a basic riot shield,
it grants you a +1 shield bonus to
AC. If you are proficient with
a riot shield, as a move action
you can align the shield against
a specific foe, which does not
increase your AC but does
allow certain armor upgrades
you may have in your shield
to function. The field and
advanced riot shields increase
the shield bonus you receive
when aligned against a target to +2,
the elite riot shield increases it to +3,
and the paragon riot shield increases
the bonus to +4.
