How do I upgrade a Bashing Shield?


Rules Questions

Since Bashing is a property of magical armor that gives it a +1 enhancement when used as a weapon, how could I increase it beyond that? Do I treat it as a weapon and start enchanting it using the price for weapon bonuses, but would it just cost 2,000 because it doesn't have any magical weapon bonuses yet? Do I just apply Bashing to it again for another +1 bonus (probably not increasing its size again, because they are from the same source)?

I believe you would have to enchant it separately as a weapon, and the two bonuses would overlap (not stack). So yes, you'd have to pay 2k just for the weapon bonus to match the bonus from Bashing, then increase from there in order to exceed it.

Just my interpretation, though.

Okay. Thank you.
