TOWER SHIELD BASH [General]
You can bludgeon opponents with your tower shield.
Prerequisites: Tower Shield Proficiency.
Benefits: You can make a shield bash attack with your tower shield. The -2 attack penalty for using a tower shield applies.
A medium tower shield deals 1d8 points of bludgeoning damage per strike.
Normal: You cannot make shield bash attacks with a tower shield.


Nothing fancy, just thought it would be fun for a proficient user to be able to make shield bash attacks on occasion.

I guess that seems balanced, but then again the whole 'shield bash' feat chain isn't all that great really, so i'd allow it, but somehow i feel like their should be a prerequisite like:

Strength value prerequisite perhaps?

Previous 'regular' Shield Bash

Maybe that Shield Bashing feat from PHB2 that allows you two do shield bashes with only a -2/-2 penalty to each hand? That would be an ok prerequisite too

I did a fighter build using the shieldbash chain... using a large spiked bashing shield as a 2handed weapon... it rocked
