[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 3400386, member: 3987"] Actually Bashing is applied to the shield which increases it's damage as if it had increased two size steps, from 1d4 => 1d6 => 1d8 Then Spikes are put on the Bashing shield, which makes it into a martial piercing weapon as if one size larger 1d8 => 2d6. From the FAQ [B]The description of the magical bashing property for shields says it can be added only to light or heavy shields. Does this exclude shields with shield spikes? That is, can you have a +2 spiked light shield of bashing?[/B] [I]You can add the bashing property to a spiked shield. If you do, the damage dealt by the shield bash increases from normal by 3 steps (2 for the bashing property and 1 for the shield spikes), and the weapon becomes a martial piercing weapon. The example +1 spiked light shield of bashing, if made for a Medium character, would deal 1d8 points of piercing damage from the bash. (Normally a light shield bash deals 1d3 points of damage, but the spikes improve that to 1d4 and the bashing enhancement increases that to 1d8.)[/I] That example is a light shield but if you do it to a heavy shield you end up with 2d6+1.
