Encased in a tower of iron and steel, the Iron Bastion stands between its allies and all harm. These fighters excel at using armor and shield to protect themselves and other party members. They learn special exploits that take advantage of their armor and shield in ways others could never master.

Additional Talent
3rd-Level Iron Bastion Feature
You gain a new martial talent. Choose a talent to represent the way you specialize in protecting yourself and your allies: Armor Expert, Shield Mastery, or Vanguard.
Barrier Shield
3rd-Level Iron Bastion Feature
You have innovated shield use. When you are wielding a shield, you gain a +3 bonus to your AC instead of +2. At the end of your turn, you can choose one ally to gain a +1 bonus to AC until the end of your next turn, while that ally stays within 5 feet of you.
In addition, choose one shield exploit that you know from the list below. You can perform the exploit a number of times equal to your PB. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
- Iron Resolve. As a reaction, you can add your shield bonus to your WIS save.
- Lock Down. When you succeed on a melee attack against an enemy within 5 feet, the enemy’s speed becomes 0 until the start of your next turn.
- Shield Bash. As a bonus action, you can forgo the bonus to your AC from your shield to make an attack with it. In your hands, a shield is a weapon with the Light property that deals 1d6 + your STR modifier bludgeoning damage and has the Bash weapon option.
- Superior Maneuvering. When you hit with a shove attack, you can push your target an additional 5 feet. When you are forced to move against your will, decrease the distance by 5 feet.
Unscathed
7th-Level Iron Bastion Feature
Protected by the steel plates of armor and your heavy shield, you can walk through almost anything. While you are wearing heavy armor and wielding a shield and you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a DEX save to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the save and only half damage if you fail.
Barrier Shield Expert
11th-Level Iron Bastion Feature
Your skill with a shield exceeds what most would have thought achievable. When you are wielding a shield, you now gain a +4 bonus to your AC instead of +3. In addition, you learn a second shield exploit from the Tower Shield feature.
Impenetrable
15th-Level Iron Bastion Feature
Your resilience in heavy armor and wielding a shield is legendary. Whenever you perform a shield exploit, you gain temporary hit points equal to your PB. These hit points last until expended or you finish a short or long rest.
While wearing heavy armor and carrying a shield, as an action, you can cast wall of force with no material components. Once you cast this spell, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
