: While wearing a shield, the fighter may reduce a full attack action to a single attack at his full BAB, and in exchange, he adds his Combat Edge bonus to his AC until the start of his next turn.  This untyped bonus AC applies to all AC numbers including touch AC and may be combined with fighting defensively.

===Shunning Shield (Ex)===
: While wearing a heavy or larger shield, the fighter adds double the shield's AC bonus to his Touch AC.  This includes only the AC bonus for the physical shield itself, not any enhancement bonus the shield might have.  If the fighter gets any additional AC bonuses from shield-related feats, tactics, abilities, etc, these bonuses are also added to the Fighter's Touch AC if they are not already (but they are not doubled).
: While wearing a heavy or larger shield, touch attacks made against the fighter no longer automatically hit on a die result of 16 or better.  Instead, the touch attack must equal or exceed the fighter's AC, just like any other attack.  This tactic does not affect the innate +4 bonus to-hit that all touch attacks receive, however.
