[QUOTE="BelXiror, post: 1598650, member: 13379"] Medium shield? Wheres that from? Shield, Heavy, Wooden or Steel: You strap a shield to your forearm and grip it with your hand. A heavy shield is so heavy that you can’t use your shield hand for anything else. Wooden or Steel: Wooden and steel shields offer the same basic protection, though they respond differently to special attacks. Shield Bash Attacks: You can bash an opponent with a heavy shield, using it as an off-hand weapon. See Table: Weapons for the damage dealt by a shield bash. [B]Used this way, a heavy shield is a martial bludgeoning weapon. For the purpose of penalties on attack rolls, treat a heavy shield as a one-handed weapon[/B] Shield, Light, Wooden or Steel: You strap a shield to your forearm and grip it with your hand. A light shield’s weight lets you carry other items in that hand, although you cannot use weapons with it. Wooden or Steel: Wooden and steel shields offer the same basic protection, though they respond differently to special attacks. Shield Bash Attacks: You can bash an opponent with a light shield, using it as an off-hand weapon. See Table: Weapons for the damage dealt by a shield bash. Used this way, a light shield is a martial bludgeoning weapon. [B]For the purpose of penalties on attack rolls, treat a light shield as a light weapon.[/B] A spiked light shield is a with the bashing enchantment is a 1d8 light weapon, and a spiked heavy shield is a 2d6 one handed weapon, if you let spikes and bashing stack. Makes me wonder why there isn't an enchantment for weapons that allows you to count them as larger for damage purposes :p [/QUOTE]
