Fighter : Tower Shield Specialist
Designed By Austin Burris
Many warriors believe that the tower shield is tool designed and used only on the battlefield, most see it as a loud clunky device that gets in the way of others while moving through dungeon corridors. Tower shield specialist defies this notion, using these shields with such skill and incredible effect. They use this seeming awkward shield to perform deft maneuvers shielding their allies.
Deflect
Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, the specialist can use their shield to defend them from an oncoming attack. While the specialist has a tower shield equipped may use their reaction to double their shield armor class bonus. This benefit lasts until the start of the specialist next turn. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before using it again.
Towering Intimidation
Starting at 7th level, using their bonus action the specialist can make a intimation check against a creature that can hear them. The specialist may add their strength modifier to the intimidation check. Should the specialist succeed in their check the creature gains the frightened condition until the start of your next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your charisma modifier. When you finish a long rest you regain all expended uses
