Using a Tekko-Kagi as a shield


Rules Questions


Hi folks, I am just wondering if I have this all correct...
I have a Brawler who wants to use a pair of Tekko-Kagi. A Tekko-Kagi has the option of being used defensively like a buckler. A Brawler is not proficient with shields, and so would take a penalty based on the ACP of the buckler, but if I get that penalty to 0 there is no penalty for not being proficent, yes?
A Brawler is able to Flurry with only one weapon, so he could use one Tekko-Kagi as a weapon, and the other as a buckler with no penalty, yes?
This much appears to work fine as far as I can tell.

Can he enchant the 'shield' one as if it was a shield? (its enhancement bonus would apply only to AC/etc)
The plan is to never use that one as anything other than a shield (effectively pretending it is in fact a buckler) it is just much cooler looking having them on both hands.

Are there any problems with any of this?

Correct.

Correct.

Only if it is listed in the list of Shields, which I don't think it is. It isn't a shield, it just can be used as one.

Then take a buckler that looks like a Tekko-Kagi. Which should be possible, since they can be used as such. It would still be a shield though.


Fair enough.
Thanks :)
