I'll actually make a constructive comment now.  Tower shields are massive, I'd suggest -1 to reflex save, +1 ac versus missile weapons.

Mort

Yes. I, too, prefer that everyone seem to use these bad-ass 1.69 shields rather than the ugly tower-shield that sparkled the post 1.69 era.

Relinquish

Pretty sure the only way to give tower shields +1 AC vs missle weapons would be to give them +1 AC vs piercing (Which included all the piercing melee weapons, not to mention slings are ranged but the damage type is blunt)

Perhaps a permanent entropic shield-like effect if that's possible?

One thing would be the fact tower shields are not ment to be dragged around and used during moving combat. They were ment for the users to make a shield line and stab past them, not parry, dodge, and such. So if we were to see more effective tower shields, speed and dex penalties may be in order. Or lowered AB instead of dexterity, because its not just the dex fighters tower shields should cause to have a problem swinging.
