Yes I know this has been discussed a lot read most of the posts. But my question hasn't been addressed that I have seen. So thinking of playing an Eldritch Archer Magus. It states they get a Bonded Weapon which must be a Ranged weapon. So would this include an Exotic Ranged weapon such as Throwing Shield? The next question which I have seen once addressed without any particular answer was Bashing magic feature. Would it do the increased damage when used as a thrown weapon.
Had a few characters die in our campaign thinking it's time to play a ranged character and our group lacks a full caster hence the Magus.

Yes, the rules say it totally works.
A bashing shield deals damage as if it were a weapon of two size categories larger
If they try to say that
A shield with this special ability is designed to perform a shield bash.
So, it only works when you Shield Bash, not when you throw the shield, then point out to them that then they really should have added, "when used to Shield Bash," because as it is worded, the shield gets the extra damage however it is used. Then tell them that now you will use the Illusion of Calm Spell for your Arcane Trickster to make Sneak Attacks without breaking Stealth.
The flavor text is not supposed to count.
