You have trained in the use of a two-handed spear and shield together
Prerequisite: Shield Proficiency
Benefit: You can use spear or longspear together with a shield of any size (including a tower shield if you have Tower Shield Proficiency), despite the fact that these are two-handed weapons.
Special: This feat can be taken as one of a fighter's bonus feats.
Notes: This feat is right at home in ancient Greece, where hypaspists used it. The shield is slung over the shoulder and maneuvered with the offhand that simultaneously holds the spear.
