Description

This shield’s sides are cut into jagged angles and honed to razor sharpness, often wielded these shields in pairs, savagely hacking opponents to pieces. If you have the Two-Weapon Fighting feat and are wielding two war-shields, increase the higher of the two shield bonuses by 1. You lose this benefit for 1 round when you make a shield bash with one or both war-shields (unless you have the Improved Shield Bash feat or a similar benefit). A hand holding a war-shield can’t be used for anything else. A war-shield gains no benefit from shield spikes.
