Aldori Dueling Mastery (Combat)

Source Adventurer's Guide pg. 24, Pathfinder Campaign Setting pg. 67, Inner Sea World Guide pg. 284
You have mastered the impenetrable Aldori fighting style.

Prerequisites: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Aldori dueling sword), Quick Draw, Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus (Aldori dueling sword).

Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on initiative checks as long as you start combat with an Aldori dueling sword in your hand. As long as you wield only a single Aldori dueling sword in one hand (not using a shield, an off-hand weapon, armor spikes, unarmed strikes, or natural weapons), you gain a +2 shield bonus to your AC. If you wield the sword in two hands, this bonus drops to a +1 shield bonus to AC. Although the dueling sword deals slashing damage, you treat it as if it were also a piercing weapon when determining the effects of weapons used by a duelist or swashbuckler.

Combat Trick (from the Combat Stamina feat)

Source Weapon Master's Handbook pg. 24
You can spend up to 6 stamina points at the start of your turn to increase the shield bonus that you gain from the Aldori Dueling Mastery feat by 1 per 2 stamina points spent until the start of your next turn.
