Ranged Shield Pin (3.5e Feat)

Ranged Shield Pin [General, Fighter]

You have mastered the art of striking an opponent's shield to knock it out of line, rendering it useless for defense.

Prerequisite

Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Base attack bonus +2

Benefit

When using a proficient ranged weapon to attack an opponent within 30 feet, you may choose to deal no damage with a successful hit. Instead, you negate any benefits your target gains from their shield until their next action. You can attempt this once per round against any shield-wielding opponent who is within one size category of you. You must announce before you attack that you are making a Ranged Shield Pin.

Notes

This feat is only useful if you have multiple attacks and your opponent's shield gives them at least a +6 armor bonus, or alternatively if you have allies that can attack the same opponent before they can re-adjust their shield.
