Shield Bash Attacks: You can bash an opponent with a light shield. See \u201cshield, light\u201d on Table: Weapons for the damage dealt by a shield bash. Used this way, a light shield is a martial bludgeoning weapon. For the purpose of penalties on attack rolls, treat a light shield as a light weapon. If you use your shield as a weapon, you lose its Armor Class bonus until your next turn. An enhancement bonus on a shield does not improve the effectiveness of a shield bash made with it, but the shield can be made into a magic weapon in its own right.","tags":"SRD, Pathfinder, Armor, Shield","templateId":"1205","blockId":"170351","isShared":"1"}
