Looking for a build focusing on fighting with/throwing shields. (Yes, like the Cap'n) Assume 15 point buy and if at all possible Pathfinder material only.
Would like advice from 1-20, but at least up to level 10 or so
Was looking through the APG and core book (I have both) and obviously Imp. Shield Bash is important, but is it better to go with shield type feats or power attack type feats and feats that improve that?
