Shield Counter [Maneuver]

As your opponent prepares to make his attack, you bash him with your shield and disrupt his attempt.

<php>echo “<b>Prerequisites:</b>”;</php> Improved Shield Bash, Shield Focus, BAB +13
<php>echo “<b>Benefit:</b>”;</php> As an immediate action, you can attempt a shield bash against an adjacent opponent. This attack is made with a –2 penalty. If your shield attack hits, your target’s next attack automatically misses. You can use this maneuver immediately after an opponent declares an attack, but you must do so before the attack’s result has been determined. You gain one additional use of a maneuver per encounter.
