[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 5017059, member: 1095"] I would say that mechanically this all works together, but I think the likelihood of successfully hitting all 3 of the shield bashes is pretty low at this level. Your level 11 fighter has a BAB +11 - 2 (if you're using a light shield) for 2 weapon fighting, (-4 if heavy shield). +4 STR (I'm assuming 18 after the 2 level increases) is only a +13 or +11 depending on your shield type to attack. So your initial attack rolls are you rolling 12/14 to hit 25 AC, attack 2 on the hobgoblins would have to be a 19/21 (somehow) on the die to hit 27 AC, and attack 3 would have to be 14/16 on the die to hit AC 17... those are pretty high rolls to hit and mostly you won't hit them consistently in a give round or battle. You're going to average a 10.5 on the d20 throughout, and with that average none of those attacks would have hit the hobgoblins. So sure, mechanically it would work, but practically that would be a once in a lifetime round of battle at level 11... Note: I'm not taking any magic items into consideration, because most 11th level characters won't be able to afford a shield that is magical both defensively and as a weapon, in addition to their other magic items they may possess and in order to have a shield with bonuses to hit and damage you have to have it enchanted separately as a weapon...
