Lions shield with feats and spells

[Plus one]

I’m trying to figure out a Duskblade with power attack, knowledge devotion and arcane strike.
Improved TWF stacking attacks and damage, trying to max hit count and stacking damage per hit. Scouts skirmish is included.

The lion shield is interesting but what can be stacked on those hits?

Thanks for any help :)

I'm not sure what lion shield refers to. Is that the +2 heavy steel shield in the PFSRD?

I'm also not sure what you're trying to accomplish yet. Are you trying to maximize number of attacks for a Duskblade 13, or are you trying to stack rider effects/conditions/SoL's onto each attack?

Presumably this is a mix between PF/3.5. What sourcebooks are available? What's your current build look like, as far as race/class levels/feats?

I'm going to assume you're talking about this shield (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Lion%27s_Shield).

As it says the lion's head attacks independently of the owner and only uses your BAB, I'm afraid there won't be much that stacks with it. Try debuffing your target rather than buffing your own attacks if you want to increase the shield's damage.

Both, that’s why the shield is interesting. I’m guessing something must be stackable on the attacks.

That’s a small problem that I believe would negate skirmish though full round weapon buffs should still have effect, if a shield can receive a weapon buff. Touch attacks could be irrelevant if the caster still needs to participate in the attack even if it’s full round.
I’m clueless.
