Mobile Cover - Action
You may plant or brace the tower shield. Until you move it again, the shield can provide partial cover to you and one creature immediately behind or beside you when the attack logically crosses the shield. The GM may deny this benefit against attacks that bypass the shield's position.
The broad shield meets the ground and blocks the view beyond it.
