So I would like to start off asking if this should have been in Rules or here in Advice. Sorry if its in the wrong place.
So I was thinking of a concept of a Fighter Character (starting at Level 1 developing to 10 with 25 point buy) that just used a Tower Shield not only for defense but also for the attack. (shield bash, swing/punch) that kinda stuff.
My question I have is what sort of attack penalties would I be looking at if this is the only thing I'm using...would I still suffer from the -2?
What are some other penalties that i'm overlooking/not thinking of currently.
Also, how would you work around them?
Thanks
still working on stats and everything just looking to try something different.

By RAW, a tower shield cannot be used for offense.
When employing a tower shield in combat, you take a –2 penalty on attack rolls because of the shield's encumbrance."
Using a tower shield for bashing and the like falls within house rule country.
