I don't have a power-ups source. And I don't have the 4e martial arts book (though I will probably get that eventually).

Has anyone used house rules for this, and what were they?
In very short strokes: The Sacrificial Parry perk lets you give up your own parry to parry for others within reach of your weapon. Shield-wall Training does the same for block; give up your own block to block for an ally beside you. I read beside as being on your shield-side, but I read a lot of things wrong, so do whatever. It also lets you ignore the -2 to attack when using a large shield.
