Shared Cover
+2 AC when adjacent ally with this feat is in cover; ally gains same; share prone-state cover.
The character has learned to use the body of an ally as cover, ducking behind shoulders, bracing against backs. When the character is adjacent to an ally who also has this feat and that ally is in cover, the character gains +2 AC (and the ally gains +2 AC as well). The bonus applies only against attacks from the same direction as the cover provider. The character may also grant a +1 cover bonus to an adjacent ally who is currently prone (using the prone ally's body as a low obstacle).

Notes
Special: Stacks with standard cover bonuses (use the highest). The prone-ally cover bonus represents using the prone body as a low obstacle; the prone ally must be a willing participant and not actively moving. Does not function in zero-G (no body weight to brace against).
