[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5623955, member: 35909"] Part of what I like about the concept of two shields IS the rarity of it. It feels like I'm really playing a fighting style that's "different" than anything that came before. And frankly, I don't see why it's any more ridiculous than a spiked chain. Please read the [url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/shield-master-combat---final]Shield Master[/url] feat (which Ranger gets at level 6, which...is the main reason I'm using Ranger for the build to begin with). It is entirely possibly that I go heavy + light shield or even sword and board before level 6 while I don't have the benefit of that feat, of course. That's why the goal is to have the two heavy shields ready to go by [u]level 6[/u]. I did say in my second post: "to be fair, you're going to at least be paying another 22,000 for Bashing on each." So I did acknowledge that. Again, please read the Shield Master feat. It makes the defensive enhancement apply offensively. Thanks for the build advice, though yours has none of the TWF feats in it at all. And you can't take Shield Slam at level 5, it requires BAB +6. You can take it as a bonus feat at Ranger 2 and ignore the pre-reqs, however, which is what I plan to do. I figured my feats would look like this: 1 Imp Shield Bash 2 Shield Slam 3 TWF 5 Weapon Focus (Heavy Shield) 6 Shield Master 7 Improved TWF 9 Improved Critical (Heavy Shield) 10 Bashing Finish [/QUOTE]
