ACTIONS
Attacks

Stand Still (Reaction)(ex) - The creature can make a grapple check as an attack of opportunity. If successful, the target loses all of its movement for a round.

Spear and Shield (Free)(su) - At will as a free action, a shield archon can transform his hands into a heavy shield and a +3 shortspear, one of each only. A shield archon's weapons cannot be disarmed, but they can be sundered. If a shield archon loses his spear or shield, he can manifest a new one as a full-round action. When a shield archon is slain, these two items fade away--they cannot be looted or wielded by any other creature.

Transpose Ally (su, 1/day) - A shield archon can teleport to the location of a willing or unconscious ally and immediately teleport that ally to the archon's previous position, switching places with them. The archon must have line of sight to the target to do so.
