Sword and Shield Synergy (Combat)

You can wield two weapons while wearing a shield.

Prerequisite: Two-Weapon Defense, Two-Weapon Fighting.

Benefit: You can carry a shield and wield a light melee weapon in the same hand. When you make an attack with your off-hand weapon, you lose your shield’s bonus to AC (including the shield’s enhancements) until the beginning of your following turn.

Normal: A character cannot carry a shield and wield a weapon in the same hand.
