[top]Notes
You can bash with a spiked shield instead of using it for defense.
When added to your shield, these spikes turn it into a martial piercing weapon that increases the damage dealt by a shield bash attacks as if the shield were designed for a creature one size category larger than you. You can?t put spikes on a buckler or a tower shield. Otherwise, attacking with a spiked shield is like making a shield bash attack (see above).
An enhancement bonus on a spiked shield does not improve the effectiveness of a shield bash made with it, but a spiked shield can be made into a magic weapon in its own right.
