As it stands its an improvised weapon doing 1d4 points of damage but without the proficiency bonus to attack. If I made it into a full melee weapon it would mean that a character could use their proficiency bonus to attack with.A few points I can thing ofIt would only really work as a shield bash with the dual wielder feat. Undecided if the AC bonus from that feat should stack with the shield bonus - gut feeling is notIt would prevent the dueling fighting style working with a shield. I would prefer dueling to represent a free hand style. Dueling is a little too strong as it standsA spiked shield would do 1d4 piercing damageAny other thoughts?</blockquote>
