: While adjacent to an ally and wearing a heavy or larger shield, if the fighter and/or the ally is targeted by an attack that grants a Fortitude or Will save, he and the adjacent ally may both roll a saving throw, even if they are not being targeted.  They may choose the result they prefer among either of their saving throws when resolving the attack. The attack always affects only the person targeted.  This allows a Fighter to 'lend' his high Fort saves to an ally, for example, or 'borrow' an ally's high Will saves.
