This may be somewhat common sensical, but here goes...
Close weapon mastery states that I may use my unarmed dmg instead of my close weapons base damage. It also says I don't get this bonus if my weapon hits harder than the damage this grants.
If I use a shield with the bashing enchantment, the shield counts as two sizes larger. This bonus kicks in on top of my weapon's base damage, and is based off it accordingly.
I figure the rules as intended mean I shouldn't be able to up the base dmg of my shield, then step it up twice again with bashing. With that said, bashing doesn't impact the base damage of my weapon, it impacts the end damage. I think a case can be made either way.
Thus, I put this question before my peers.
In an unrelated note, the text for the Shield Champion reads 'can throw a medium or light shield' - does this include a 'medium' sized heavy shield? I could find no entries anywhere for a 'medium' shield, only 'heavy' and 'light'...
