Shield bonus both ways?


Rules Questions


If your shield has a +1 enhancement bonus, do you get that bonus to attacks and damage rolls made with a shield bash?

"Shield enhancement bonuses stack with armor enhancement bonuses. Shield enhancement bonuses do not act as attack or damage bonuses when the shield is used in a shield bash. The bashing special ability, however, does grant a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls (see the special ability description).

A shield could be built that also acted as a magic weapon, but the cost of the enhancement bonus on attack rolls would need to be added into the cost of the shield and its enhancement bonus to AC."

The answer is no, the feat Shield Master makes that the most obvious.
