General Rules: Feats - Necrotic Shield

Necrotic Shield [General] (from the Unholy Warrior's Handbook)
An undead servant withstands the worst of ranged attacks against you.
   Prerequisite: Dexterity 13+, Combat Reflexes.
   Benefit: Any time you stand within 5 feet of a mindless undead ally such as a zombie or a skeleton, you gain a +2 deflection bonus to your Armor Class. In addition, any time you are forced to make a Reflex save against a damaging effect and the same type of ally is within 5 feet, a successful save transfers all the damage you would otherwise receive to your undead ally. If the damage dealt is sufficient to kill your undead ally, you receive the excess. All damage only applies to one ally per attack, regardless of how many allies undead qualify to be your necrotic shield.
