Description

Spiked shields are intimidating weapons, and can have a single protruding central spike, razored shield edges, or a whole forest of deadly protrusions. You can bash with a spiked heavy shield instead of using it for defense. A shield spike is attached to the shield instead of the wielder and has no effect on how the wielder may use his shield arm.
