Pounding (Shield Magic Property)

Pounding (Shield Magic Property)

Enchant Cost: +8 (epic)

You must be level 21 or higher to equip, wield or wear an item with this property.

This property allows the wielder of the shield to perform a Shield Bash as a swift action, up to once per round. It can also be used to perform a normal, standard action Shield Bash in the same round.

A Pounding shield deals +50 points of Base Weapon Damage when used to perform a Shield Bash. Base weapon damage is multiplied when you reach levels 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, and 31. Base weapon damage is usually multiplied on a critical hit, as it is NOT bonus damage, but Combat Maneuvers cannot normally crit.

Only Light Shields and Heavy Shields can have this ability; Bucklers, War Shields, and Tower Shields may not.

Creation: Creator (Feat), Epic Creator (Feat), Bailiwick Check (DC 65), a vital remnant (tier 6), and an item symbolic of the enchantment.
