You are still able to enhance the shields as weapons via traditional means. You just dont have the ability to do so on the fly like a regular Warpriest.

You don't seem to understand that the chart for Large and Small is for creature size, not weapon. So using a Gargantuan Warshield would have the same Focused Weapon damage dice as a Medium sized Warshield.

Yeah you are right, 1:30 am here. Long day,

Not that it matters anyway huh?

Nice party starting pbp Monday.

To late to switch now so will just go axe/buckler and still use the focused weapon with the Upsetting Shield or Shielded Gauntlet style feat tree.

Thanks for the clarification.

Focused Weapon doesn't allow you to add enhancements to your weapon in combat like a Warpriest. All you get is the damage dice replacement. So even if you take a Large weapon, you'll gain no benefits.

Are you commited to using Fighter? I think a Brawler could be more beneficial for this type of build. You get TWF for free with Brawlers Flurry, letting you focus on STR instead of splitting between the two. It also scales up the damage of weapons from the Close Weapon Group, which is similar to Focused Weapon.

Yes it's to late to change, I am committed to the fighter anyway. I have been thinking about this one for awhile,

The enhancements will hurt, but the damage for a large weapon will apply, the increased damage table is for a medium weapon, like the monk and brawler there is a small / large size table.

Was really counting on the Agile enchantment, if I was using a normal shield I could enhance shield spikes... Should be able to enhance the piercing / slashing part of the War-Shield.

Now it just Sounds good and isn't practical at all as a build without being able to Enhance the P and S. Will have to default to the Dwarven Double Waraxe and redo all of my feats without being able to enhance the shields as weapons, which is what they are. /sigh

bashing wont work with sacred weapon.

sacred weapon completely replaces the weapon damage with new damage based on the size of the character

bashing increases the size of the weapon damage, but doesnt work in conjunction with sacred weapon.

OK makes sense on the bashing and Sacred Weapon.

What about the Sacred Weapon Enhancements ie. Flaming or Brilliant Energy on a Dwarven War-Shield to be specific. Or Agile to be even more specific so I can utilize it with Weapon Finesse as it is intended.

I have a Dwarf Fighter, TWF with the Advanced Weapon Training Archetype (am using Pathbuilder app for the build).

I am dual wielding Dwarven War-Shields. So there are some gray areas that I need clarified, I have tried to find some clear cut answers to a few questions. I have not found them yet.

1) Focused Weapon damage increases as per Warpriest Sacred Weapon table, weapon focus on DWS allows the damage increases, but does it allow the weapon enhancements to a weapon that is also a shield?

2) my build plan is to utilize the following Advanced Weapon Training abilities and I want to make sure that it will fly, my GM is new to Pathfinder, this is his first go at it so I want to be sure. He is a long time 3.5 player/GM.

A) Sacred Weapon w/ feat at level 5
B) Effortless Dual-Wielding at level 9 while switching to Large (Bashing) Dwarven War-Shields.
C) Trained Grace at level 13
D) Armed Bravery at level 17.
E) Fighter's Reflexes w/ feat at level 20.

3) Bashing enchantment on a weapon that does 1d6 already, does it still go to 1d8 or is the enhancement = 2x increase on a 1d4-1d8 for a normal shield bash??? This is vague to me.
If it is only an upgrade from a normal shield is it worth the 2k gp?

4) Is there a table somewhere that lists weapon damage by size from small to colossal or the next biggest size from there?

It seems that this would be a useful table, there is one for natural attacks, but I have not been able to find one for weapons. Especially since weapons the same size do different amounts of damage, it can get confusing.

20 pt build
Str 15 (16 +3)
Dex 17 (20 +5)
Con 17 (18 +4)
Int 7
Wis 13
Cha 5

I know this is a Dwarf and Strength > Dexterity, but need the 19 for GTWF and want to do a Fighter only build, want to see how this holds up at higher levels,

This is my planned build
1) Two-Weapon Fighting / Improved Shield Bash
2) Weapon Finesse
3) Agile Maneuvers
4) Ancestral Weapon Mastery (Weapon Focus w/ a backup plan)
5) Advanced Weapon Training - Focused Weapon (Ex)
6) Improved TWF
7) Shield Slam
8) Stumbling Bash
9) Power Attack / Effortless Dual Wielding (Ex)
10) Improved Bull Rush
11) Greater TWF
12) Shield Master
13) Guarded Charge / Trained Grace (Ex)
14) Greater Bull Rush
15) Bashing Finish
16) Dwarven Hatred Style
17) Dwarven Seething / Armed Bravery (Ex)
18) Dwarven Fury
19) Advanced Armor Training - Armor Specialization (Ex)
20) Advanced Weapon Training - Fighter's Reflexes (Ex)

I plan to put Bashing if it is feasable, and Agile on them both.

If the Sacred Weapon enhancement allows me to enhance them for a number of rounds, then a permanent weapon enhancement should not be a problem.

Again the Bashing and the Sacred Weapon enhancements are my big questions.

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

All 3 of mine are open to any kingdom.

Are there different deities involved or using standard PF1E?

Thanks

Firy’ln, are your dwarves using the custom race rules on page 1? Wasn’t sure from your sheets. But they’re a lot of fun as they offer many different options
