03-12-07, 02:18 PM Dwarf Axe Bucklers and the Gnome Tortoise shield (Complete with blade) are in Complete warrior, I think. It's that or Races of Stone.

For rules, you'd have to enchant each aspect of the shield (blade and shield) seperately.

So, a spiked shield which have a +1 magic bonus for attacks and a +2 magic bonus to shield AC would cost (2,000 + 4,000) 6,000gp on top of the cost of masterwork versions of both elements.

Oh ok thanks. I'll look into that. A page number would be nice.

I was going to suggest just making a slashing version of shield spikes. Usually when people are asking for a new weapon, it's easiest to change the damage type of an existing one, rather than make one up or search for one in another book.
