[QUOTE="Nazhkandrias, post: 3819556, member: 50521"] OK, just because I like playing characters that deviate from what anybody has ever seen, I got to thinking about the Blood-Spiked Charger feat. It basically focuses on the use of shield and armor spikes, especially at the end of a charge. That got me thinking about somebody who didn't just use their shield as a secondary last-ditch weapon, but as a primary choice. And then, it struck me - could somebody technically use two shields at once? It isn't exactly optimal, I know, but the bonus to AC would be nice, considering the fairly decent attack power of a spiked shield bash. Take this feat build into consideration... [U]10th-Level Fighter[/U] 1. Improved Shield Bash 1F. Power Attack 2F. Shield Specialization (heavy shield) 3. Weapon Focus (spiked shield) 4F. Weapon Focus (armor spikes) 6. Agile Shield Fighter 6F. Blood-Spiked Charger 8F. Shield Charge 9. Improved Bull Rush 10F. Shock Trooper Now, I'm sure that there's a better way to arrange this, but it seems like an interesting build for a 10th-level Fighter (especially with the combination of the two tactical feats, lot of options there). Mainly a Charging build (which might multiclass well with a Charging Smite Paladin or a Barbarian level or two), using mostly shield bashes and a few armor spikes, but what I'm wondering is this - is this even legal?
