I'm a bit confused by the text on creation magic shields and enhancing them to make them magic weapons.
The text in the DMG(p.217) seems to suggest the attack and damage bonus is tracked seperate from the AC bonus, but doen't list how it would combine with the Bashing property:
A bashing shield already provides the shield with a +1 bonus on attack and damage.
If I decide to add magical attack bonusses to the shield spikes on shield that has the Bashing property, does that:
a. overlap with the attack bonus from shieldbash, which means I have to pay 8000 gp for a +2 on attack and damage
b. stack with the attack bonus from shieldbash, which means I have to pay 2000 gp for a +2 on attack and damage
c. mean an upgrade to the bonus from shieldbash, which means I have to pay the difference (6000 gp) for a +2 on attack and damage.
