[3.5] Buckler Shield Bash

[Thurbane]

I asked this in the Q&A thread, with no luck:


Q 147

Is there any feat, magical enhancement, shield modification or anything else that allows you to shield bash with a buckler?

Any thoughts? 3rd party will be considered.

There is a fighter archetype in pathfinder and there is a buckler axe in complete warrior if that helps

[Thurbane]

Not using Pathfinder material, but the buckler axe sounds promising, thanks! :smallbiggrin:

There's also the Gnome Tortoise Shield, which is not specifically a light shield or buckler, but functionally the same as the buckler-axe.

In fact, it might be ever-so-slightly better due to it's 19-20/x3 crit, where as the axe has just a x3.

There's always the cheap route: Spiked Gauntlet.

Are you trying to use the stuff that requires a buckler and the stuff that says shield bash at the same time or are you just looking for something thematic?

You mean, I can have 4 weapons/arm? [Elbow Blade, Arm Blade, Weapon, Dwarven Buckler]

MWF for the win!

No.
You must add in a spiked gauntlet, bladed gauntlet on top of it, sprayer attachment to the shield, spring-loaded crossbow bolt to the gauntlet, and armor spikes.

Wouldn't spiked guantlet take place of the weapon?
I dont see the second one flying.
Where's that from/what's it's reload time?

Armor Spikes are one weapon, unless piecemeal armor is being used.

Yay for Sneak Attack Neraph Pouncers.

Something thematic is fine. I just like the idea of being able to have a weapon built into my buckler, and still have an off hand free.

Well, we're going with "weapons on an arm", not "usable weapons".
Ehhh, depends on who's being generous.
Name mistake, Oil Chamber, Dungeonscape, full-round.
A&E/S&F, move (could be +1 quick-loading, however)
Put it on your arm, and your arm has another weapon.

Oh! And I forgot Weighted Sleeves.

Go ahead and throw in something like a Horned Helmet.
